This document discusses trends in higher education and predictions for the year 2020, with a focus on the increasing impact of adult and mobile learners. It notes that adult learners over age 25 will see the largest enrollment increases and will need flexible scheduling, advising, and payment options. Online learning enrollment is also growing rapidly due to demands from digital native students and adult learners' needs for convenience. The document advocates for colleges to adapt programs and services to better serve these student groups in 2020 through strategies like continuous enrollment, year-round programming, and competency-based education delivered through hybrid instructional models.The Impact of Covid- 19 on Higher Education
The Impact of Covid- 19 on Higher EducationAbhishek Ballabh

The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted traditional student recruitment and enrollment processes. Institutions must adapt their recruitment strategies to focus on digital channels like websites, online publishers, and virtual communication. Specifically, they should invest in building strong online presences, reworking fee structures to accommodate financial hardship, implementing video counseling and online application/payment systems, and developing communication strategies. Institutions also need to prepare for potential delays in exams and admissions by remaining flexible, and consider developing online learning capabilities in case extended closures require remote instruction. Overall, COVID-19 is accelerating the shift to digital in education and institutions must upgrade their technology and processes to engage effectively with students searching and enrolling from home.Utah System of Higher Education 2016

COVID-19 had immediate and long-term financial impacts on universities. In the immediate term, it reduced revenue from programs, auxiliaries, and state allocations in FY2020. It also increased some expenditures. In the long term, it adds uncertainty to revenue projections for FY2021 from tuition, state appropriations, gifts, and endowments. Universities must prepare budgets conservatively and may need to cut expenditures, posing difficult questions about priorities and resource allocation. After the pandemic passes, universities will need to restore operations and reserve funds over several years.Giving credit where credit is due

This document discusses the increasing demand for credit earned through nontraditional courses and learning programs. It notes that the number of non-traditional students is growing, students are more mobile between institutions, and trends in higher education supply and demand are putting pressure on completion rates. As a result, there is demand for alternative credit options like exams, portfolios, online courses, and internships to help students complete their credentials more quickly and at a lower cost. The benefits and challenges of different alternative credit programs are reviewed. Institutions must evaluate which options fit their mission and priorities while considering student experience, outcomes, and quality.Jones "There is Hope - A View from the Provosts Office"

The document defines slope as the rise over the run. It explains that rise is the vertical distance up or down, while run is the horizontal distance side to side. An example slope is given with a rise of 2 feet and a run of 18 feet, resulting in a slope of 1/9 or approximately 0.11. The formula for calculating slope is introduced as the change in y-values (rise) over the change in x-values (run).Building an editable, versionized LOD service for library data

Three critical factors must be examined before launching an adult education program:
1. Curriculum type and degree level - Programs should be evaluated based on local and national demand as well as competitiveness. Specialized programs tend to have smaller audiences but stand out more.
2. Cost-per-enrollment goals - Realistic CPE goals must consider advertising costs, admissions costs, and whether to use a paid media only or fully loaded methodology. CPE for online programs is now similar to or higher than ground programs due to increased competition.
3. Inquiry-to-enrollment conversion rates - Sufficient admissions staffing and timelines are needed to convert inquiries to enrollments effectively. Lead-to-repIDUES Presentation NSULA

This document discusses the concept of transitions in adult education in Virginia. It defines transitions as moving students beyond just earning a GED to preparing them for postsecondary education or training. This will require changes in mindset and practices among adult educators. Educators will need to embrace preparing students for what comes after the GED and integrate career skills and pathways into instruction. The state is working on initiatives like PluggedIn VA and career coaching to help with these transitions. Partnerships across education, business and government will also be important to creating better transitions for adult learners in Virginia.The College of 2020: Students
