ANTHOLOGY EDUCATION AND RESEARCH CENTER
Teaching, Learning, and Accessibility Impact Area
Our focus
Teaching and learning are at the core of every higher education institution. Instructional, learner-focused strategies and teaching modalities regularly fill academic journals and newsletters. This impact area team works to foster discussions and practices around critical topics, including the use of AI in classrooms, and how institutions create accessibility learning programs. The team tracks how policy makers and legislation are impacting the digital teaching and learning space and institutions. A special focus will be on community colleges and HBCUs. The team regularly receives updates related to policy and legislative issues that impact teaching, learning, and accessibility.
Looking ahead
Topics to be covered this year include how micro-credentialing can affect completion and success, the impact of artificial intelligence in education, how strategies and pedagogy influence student success, and the importance of developing high-quality and accessible online programs.
