The Kirkpatrick Model, or four levels of training evaluation, consists of Reaction, Learning, Behavior and Results.

The Kirkpatrick Model gives organizations a framework/reference to bucket data together to identify the impact a program or initiative has on an overall organization

The paper offers a critical theorization of the terms belonging and State of Belonging (SoB), synthesizing how the concepts are framed and understood across axes of identity, culture, disciplinary field, and learning modality, through multiple theoretical lenses. The aim of the paper is to make visible the various ways in which SoB operates in the complex digital environments of higher education, with emphasis on how the concept consistently refers to relational connections and power relations, no matter the context.

Most of us find ourselves genuinely conflicted about AI in education. AI appears both alarming and exciting in ways that seem difficult to r…

AI use is now ‘near universal’ among undergraduates, but students are divided on its impact, new HEPI survey finds  In just three years, generative AI has moved from novelty to near universality among undergraduates. The question is no longer whether students use AI, but how well they use it – and how effectively institutions are supporting them to develop […]

Carrie Smith (UAlberta) explores how collaboration can be supported through inventive structures and relational infrastructure in this new article for the Illuminating Higher Ed series.

In most institutions the VLE is currently the main student facing information system and thus key to the student learning experience. A review can help you see if you are meeting your existing objectives, possibly against internal or external benchmarks, and plan what you need to do in future to meet your long-term strategic objectives.

Most VLEs are treated as standard infrastructure, a static system that is, at best, functioning; delivering modules, hosting content, running assessments, supporting learning, etc. As long as stude…

Polarity mapping turns vague “both/and” thinking into a disciplined method. When leaders can map the upsides and downsides of competing poles, identify early warning signs, and design actions that sustain the benefits of each without tipping into failure, they build stronger organisations.

Some tensions are problems to solve. Others are polarities to manage. Polarity mapping is a disciplined way to navigate interdependent opposites without collapsing into false choices, compromise, or managerial relativism.

This article reflects on current practices and directions for digital transformation through a framework that supports the strategic responses and str

In 2024, we collaborated with 24 higher education providers in a research pilot to discover how our digital transformation toolkit could support digital transformation within their organisation.

The research pilot validated the success factors for effective digital transformation highlighted in the toolkit.

Instead of banning AI, why don’t schools teach students to use it critically? College freshman Maximilian Milovidov shares what he has learned in an “AI writing” course at Columbia University.

Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

Students are co-creators of learning, not recipients of it. When we respond to GenAI with restriction, we model exactly the opposite of what students need: how to use powerful tools wisely, ethically, and in community. 

Online and hybrid learning are now standard, not exceptions. However, many educators still feel unprepared, overwhelmed, or resistant when teaching online. They might have access to strong platforms and tools, but without proper guidance, those tools often go unused or are misapplied. That’s where faculty development truly makes a difference. When institutions support their educators, […]
