Faculty Views on Technology and on Graduate Professional Education
“The proportion of college instructors who are teaching online and blended courses is growing. So is their support for using technology to deliver instruction.”
“But their belief in the quality and effectiveness of online courses and digital technology isn’t keeping pace.”
“Those are among the findings -- conflicting and confounding, as is often the case -- of Inside Higher Ed’s 2018 Survey of Faculty Attitudes on Technology, published today in partnership with Gallup.”

Graduate Professional Education
Graduate  education  continues  to  be  a  crucial  part  of higher  education.  For many universities, graduate and professional programs define their missions. For those who care about the future of the professoriate and the professions, these programs are crucial.Yet considerable debate surrounds graduate and professional education, over efforts to recruit and evaluate applicants, the ways programs distinguish  themselves,  and  the  career  success  of graduates.  Many  programs  are also experimenting with new economic and pedagogical models.
All  of  these  challenges  take  place  amid  growing  political and  legal  debates over affirmative action and the ability of colleges and universities to use holistic admissions.The articles in this compilation reflect these and other issues, not only in master’s and doctoral programs, but also in business, law and medical schools.
