Since 1953, the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) has been strengthening higher education, workforce development, and behavioral health throughout the region. As an interstate compact, WICHE partners with states, territories, and postsecondary institutions to share knowledge, create resources, and develop innovative solutions that address some of our society’s most pressing needs. From promoting high-quality, affordable postsecondary education to helping states get the most from their technology investments and addressing behavioral health challenges, WICHE improves lives across the West through innovation, cooperation, resource sharing, and sound public policy.

Share your information on #ArticificalIntelligence to help shape the picture of what #AI looks like at the institutional level.
We're conducting a study on how institutions are using #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) to support governance, operations, instruction, and learning; what policies and guidelines are in place; and what are the ongoing concerns for and benefits to its use. Judith Sebesta, Ph.D. is leading this research and seeking insights from a diverse range of participants at public and private four-year institutions and two-year #colleges across the US. The findings from this survey will be used to develop publications, posts, and #webinars highlighting recommendations and strategies for effectively adopting and #implementingAI on #campuses nationwide. The survey will be available from March 17 to April 7, 2025. Thank you for your time and insights. We sincerely appreciate your participation in this important research.

The factors driving continued interest in #onlinelearning are manifold. Many #students and #faculty members are more comfortable now with #educationaltechnologies. And the flexibility and accelerated #learningopportunities that #onlineinstruction can afford have enticed #learners who are unable to commit to a four-year, in-person #collegeexperience. #Colleges see their own benefits. But doing online and doing online well are two very different things. The recent WCET cost and price of #distanceeducation report, authored by executive director, Van L. Davis, found that a majority of institutions surveyed said their #onlinecourses cost the same as, or more than, in-person courses across 21 different components of #coursedevelopment and delivery. Six components reported to be more expensive for online courses included technologies and software, instructional design, and accessibility.

Join us for our next webinar, Where AI Meets Accessibility: Considerations for Higher Education. Hosted in partnership with Every Learner Everywhereand Teach Access, Rolando J. Mendez (he/él), Tessa Wolf and Emilie Cook will discuss the opportunities and challenges #artificialintelligence offers as it becomes increasingly embedded into educational settings and practices. With the goal of shifting the conversation around #AI in #highereducation beyond topics like #academicintegrity or the #studentexperience and instead encouraging a focus on how AI can promote #accessibility and #inclusion, we’ll share practical advice for #educators and #administrators on implementing and using #AIinclusively. This webcast is free and open to all. Learn more and register today: https://lnkd.in/eCnTc__4 Unable to attend? Register to receive the recording.
