SUMMARY:Licensure Level-Set: Why Institutional Leaders Should Prioritize this Work
DESCRIPTION:Presentation – Licensure Level-Set \n\nRecording – Licensure Level-Set \n\nQ&A Licensure Level-Set \n\nGuide to Licensure Disclosure Implementation \n\n\nTitle IV regulations and SARA policy\, Section 5.2 Programs leading to Professional Licensure\, require institutions provide crucial information to students concerning professional licensure. The following visual is intended to assist you and your team in creating and implementing effective professional licensure disclosures. \n\nLicensure Board/Agency Directory \n\n\nIn order 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. \nMHEC is building upon its existing work in the practice areas of compliance and credentialing by participating in the Midwestern-State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (M-SARA) and now\, offering support for our stakeholders in the area of professional licensure. Through our participation and support of SARA\, we provide resources to institutions and member states regarding compliance with state and federal rules pertaining to the authorization of distance education offerings. However\, institutions must comply not only with state authorization regulations but also with regulations pertaining to professional licensure programs. As SARA does not fully address this aspect of compliance work\, MHEC is supporting its compliance community with assistance from Higher Educational Licensing Pros\, LLC (HELP). \nPlease join us for a webinar on August 17 with Kris Maul\, J.D.\, and Nan Kalke\, Ph.D.\, principals of HELP\, who will introduce the requirements and work required to comply with federal regulations pertaining to professional licensure and explain how this work is of critical importance to institutions.

SUMMARY:Toward Convergence: Creating Clarity to Drive More Consistency in Understanding the Benefits and Costs of OER.
DESCRIPTION:Presentation – Toward Convergence \n\nRecording – Toward Convergence \n\nReport – Toward Convergence \n\n\nCreating Clarity to Drive More Consistency in Understanding the Benefits and Costs of OER \nInformed by institutional\, state\, and national leaders\, this report examines six principles to help define efforts to identify savings and ROI from OER investments. The report offers two frameworks for making those calculations\, which can be adapted to local interests and needs. \nThe Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC)\, as part of the National Consortium for Open Educational Resources (NCOER)\, and with the help of a workgroup of institutional\, state\, and national leaders is excited to release: “Toward Convergence: Creating Clarity to Drive More Consistency in Understanding the Benefits and Costs of OER.” \nThis report will help enhance the consistency and reliability for measuring student cost savings and overall return on investment of Open Educational Resources (OER). Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching\, learning\, or research resources that are offered freely to users in at least one form and that either reside in the public domain or have been released under an open copyright license that allows for its free use\, reuse\, modification\, and sharing with attribution. \nWe believe the impact of this work is national in scope and will be beneficial for elected officials and other policymakers across the nation. It is designed to help collectively consider a more consistent way to: \n\nCommunicate clearly and accurately the value of OER;\nRecommend how to reliably measure the cost savings and return on investment of OER for students\, families\, institutions\, systems\, states\, and policymakers;\nUnderstand existing effective measures of OER cost savings and benefits to students;\nProvide a needed shortcut for practitioners to help them communicate cost savings and the return on investment of OER at the institutional\, system\, and state levels; and\nEnsure that OER is helping improve higher education’s efforts to increase attainment.\n\nWe hope you will join us for the release of this report and share and use and use this important work to help us create more consistency and clarity in our discussions about the benefits (and costs) of OER. \nPresenters:\nKatie Zaback\nData\, Policy\, and Strategy Consultant\nZaback Solutions \nJenny Parks\nVice President\nMidwestern Higher Education Compact \nC. Edward “Eddie” Watson\nAssociate Vice President\, Curricular and Pedagogical Innovation\nAmerican Association of Colleges and Universities \nTim Anderson\nSystem Director of Student Success Technologies\nMinnesota State \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Creating More Consistency in Cost Savings and ROI Metrics to Build the Case for OER
DESCRIPTION:Presentation – OER Cost Savings and ROI\, K. Zaback \n\nRecording – Creating More Consistency in Cost Savings and ROI Metrics to Build the Case for OER \n\nOER Cost Savings & ROI Feedback Form \nAs part of our work with the National Consortium for Open Educational Resources (NCOER) and thanks to generous support from the Hewlett Foundation\, the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) has convened a national group of leaders in OER to help advise a study to identify recommendations for reporting cost savings and return on investment for OER. The purpose of this research is to assess the return on investment of OER for students\, institutions\, and states and to provide a framework that organizations can adapt to their own context to determine the return on investment of OER. During this webinar we will discuss the current progress of this group\, what we have learned\, and provide some initial findings from the research that will help inform the final release in early 2022. \nPresenter: Katie Zaback\, Zaback Consulting\nKatie Zaback has more than 20 years of experience working with states\, postsecondary institutions\, and non-profit entities to use data and research to maximize their impact. As a consultant\, Katie  loves helping organizations transform the way they look at data and research so that it can support stronger policy and better execution.  Previously\, Katie served as senior policy director at the Colorado Department of Higher Education where she used data and research to define and enact an ambitious policy agenda that will result in greater affordability\, equity\, and postsecondary success for all Coloradans. She also served as director of research at Complete College America\, a senior policy analyst at SHEEO\, and she started her career in institutional research. Katie is working with MHEC to facilitate the working group and synthesize the current research on cost savings and ROI for OER and help turn it into recommendations for policy-makers and practitioners.
