The latest trends, news, and solutions in Higher Education
In recent years, universities and colleges across the United States have been facing a significant challenge known as the "Enrollment Cliff." This term encapsulates the sharp decline in student enrollment, particularly among traditional college-aged students.
What has caused this decline? And how can universities adapt to not only survive but thrive in this new landscape?
In today's competitive academic landscape, universities are increasingly focused on more than just grades. They aim to cultivate well-rounded individuals who not only excel in their coursework but also develop crucial skills outside the classroom.
This holistic approach to education is supported by co-curricular activities, which play a pivotal role in shaping a student’s overall growth and readiness for the real world.
Microcredentials (aka "certificates" or "certifications") are focused credentials which a student may earn after only a handful-- or even just one-- course. They are credentials which prove to employers that the student possesses job-specific skills.
There's a number of reasons your school should offer microcredentials, and there's a number of ways FlightPath can help keep track of them!
If your school uses Populi to manage its student data, then we have great news: FlightPath now supports API integration with Populi. This means that student data, including courses taken, grades, etc., are pulled into FlightPath automatically.
You can even register students for courses directly from FlightPath.
Every year, EDUCAUSE creates a list of the top 10 issues facing Higher Education. This year's overarching topic is "Institutional Resilience" and how technology and data can advance the cause.
