SUMMARY:Do We Need a National Open Education Strategy? An “Open” Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Open education has made remarkable progress\, yet the evolving landscape continues to present challenges. As open education work continues to grow at institutions\, in states\, and across regions\, questions increasingly surface about how we might coordinate and advocate more effectively as a field. This includes how to advance open education policies at the national and state level\, how to reach institutional leaders\, and how to expand sustainable funding. \nNCOER (a collaboration among the four regional education compacts)\, working together with DOERS3 and SPARC\, invite members of the open education field to join us for an open conversation about the potential need for U.S. national open education strategy and discuss how we might better collaborate to advance shared priorities. This will build on a discussion started at the 2023 Open Education Conference. \nTo include as many voices as possible\, there are three options for when to join. All who are interested in open education are encouraged to participate. \n\nWednesday\, February 7\, at 3:00pm-4:00pm ET / 12:00 p.m.-1:00p.m. PT\nTuesday\, February 13\, at 2:00 pm – 3:00pm ET / 11:00 a.m.- Noon PT\nThursday\, February 15\, at 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. ET / 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. PT\n\nResults from our Community “Open” Conversations: Thursday\, March 7\, at 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m.-Noon PT

SUMMARY:Stronger State Community College Finance as a Lever for Student Success
DESCRIPTION:For community colleges to reach their full potential as drivers of prosperity and equity\, research partners HCM and CCRC\, argue that states must create strong\, stable\, coherent finance systems that enable and incentivize colleges to better meet pressing state interests and student needs. To do so\, policymakers need clear\, comprehensive and state-specific pictures of how current finance systems operate. College leaders need sufficient resources that can be deployed in service of their institutional priorities\, including equitable attainment. \nThis presentation will share insights and recommendations from research that maps the community college finance systems in California\, Ohio and Texas. These states vary in terms of location\, demographics\, and the size and structure of their community colleges\, yet each has recently seen notable efforts to change aspects of their community college finance system. HCM identified and analyzed the policies that control each state’s major revenue streams\, their implications for institutional behavior\, and their effects on equity. Additionally\, CCRC researchers will present findings from an institutional analysis conducted at eight community colleges across California\, Ohio\, and Texas that examined institutional funding and choices leaders made about how limited resources should be allocated. It also analyzed the colleges’ student success initiatives–how they operate\, who they serve\, and their resource requirements–with a focus on the ways institutional policy and practice is affected by the local and state economic and political context. \n\n\nPresenters\n\nMartha Snyder\, Managing Director of Postsecondary Education Transformation\, HCM Strategists\nStephanie Murphy\, Director of Postsecondary State Policy and Research\, HCM Strategists\nCarmen Huynh\, Senior Research Assistant\, Community College Research Center\nAriel Deutsch\, Project Assistant\, Community College Research Center\nJack Hershey\, President & CEO\, Ohio Association of Community Colleges\n\nResource\nMapping Community College Finance Systems to Develop Equitable and Effective Finance Policy \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Are You Ready for the New Dept of Education Licensure Regulations?
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Education released the final version of Title IV Certification Procedures regulations in late October 2023. These new licensure regulations significantly impact student enrollment\, curriculum development\, and staff/faculty workloads. They include an expansion of professional and occupational licensure-related responsibilities for institutions\, with the need to certify that programs satisfy all educational prerequisites for licensure where students are located. As a result\, institutions will need to limit enrollment in certain states\, and/or revise curricula to meet specific licensure requirements. MHEC will host Higher Education Licensure Pros LLC and together we will learn about the new regulations\, the impacts on institutions\, and how to best prepare for the July 1\, 2024\, effective date. \nGuest Presenters\n\nKris Maul\, JD\, Higher Education Licensure Pros LLC\nNan Kalke\, PhD\, Higher Education Licensure Pros LLC\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Communicating the Value Proposition of IT (hint - don't talk about IT!)
DESCRIPTION:EDUCAUSE Annual Conference Online\nThe Midwestern Higher Education Compact’s (MHEC’s) Technologies Community has been exploring the value proposition of information technology (IT). As the concept of value was explored more deeply\, the team stopped asking “What is the value of IT?” and began to ask “What is the value that OTHERS place on what we do?” This session will explore the topic in more depth\, using realistic examples drawn from community experiences. We will examine how IT’s response can help or hurt outcomes. We will consider perspectives from outside IT: a CFO\, a provost\, staff\, and students all provide unique experiences and have different expectations of IT\, and the CIO must address them all. This will be an interactive and entertaining session led by members of MHEC’s Technologies Community.

SUMMARY:Expanding Professional Licensure Responsibilities: What the Dept of Education's Proposed Changes Mean to Your Institution
DESCRIPTION:To assist institutions in fulfilling Title IV regulations and SARA policy\, Section 5.2 Programs leading to Professional Licensure\, the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) contracted with Higher Education Licensure Pros LLC (HELP) to create a Licensure Board and Agency Directory. This directory lists licensed professions and occupations that require postsecondary education\, and the licensing board or agency that regulates them. This is not an exhaustive list of all licensing boards or agencies in every state or territory. The information is current as of August 2024. \nThe U.S. Department of Education released proposed Title IV Certification Procedures regulations on May 19. The proposal includes an expansion of professional and occupational licensure-related responsibilities for institutions\, with the need to certify that programs satisfy all educational prerequisites for licensure. MHEC will host Higher Education Licensure Pros LLC and together we will learn about the proposed changes\, the impacts on institutions\, how to best prepare for the proposed changes\, and opportunities to influence the final regulations. \nOther Resources\nLicensure Board/Agency Directory \n\n
