Harm‐reduction approach to drug‐education programming can save students’ lives

BURLINGTON, VERMONT — What if, instead of only trying to find new ways to convince students to never use drugs, campuses implemented effective methods to reduce harm for those students who choose to experiment with or even regularly use drugs? That shift in thinking was discussed by panelists at the University of Vermont's Legal Issues in Higher Education annual conference.

Assessment Integrity: Foundations for High-Quality Credentials

In a time when the value of a college degree is under continuous scrutiny and the opportunity for alternate pathways to workforce readiness is ever-increasing, ensuring high-quality credentials is imperative. However, how can we reassure our students, employers, and other stakeholders that what we offer is high quality? To answer this question, we can leverage skills, assessment integrity, and credential frameworks. During the 2023 Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education annual conference in New Orleans, Western Governors University (WGU) presented the importance and value of having a system related to skills, assessment integrity, and credential frameworks that is adequate. In their dialogue session, they explored how institutions can engage in internal conversations to define how psychometrically based assessment practices be used to increase our credentials’ quality, value, and trustworthiness. This paper summarizes and expands on the key topics and shares additional resources supporting the presenters’ position.

Interrogating theoretical and empirical approaches to employability in different global regions

AbstractThis special issue expands the scope of a panel presentation at the Society for Research into Higher Education Annual Conference 2019 and makes two identified contributions to the field. First, drawing from existing literature, this introductory paper proposes three categorisations of employability as: outcomes approach, process approach and conceptual approaches. This moves beyond normative conceptualisation of employability from mostly the outcomes approach. The applicability of the categorisation is further enumerated by the diversity of contributions in this special issue that highlights (a) the complexity in the field and (b) the interrelatedness of the categories. Second, the special issue puts together a rarely combined collection of global perspectives on conceptualisations of employability, and insights from research on little studied groups in Western and non‐Western contexts (the UK, Portugal, Australia, the Indo‐Pacific Region, Germany, Kenya and Kazakhstan). The papers, therefore, illustrate the need to widen our scope of understanding employability beyond current dominant perspectives. The broadening that is required in employability discourses is further needed in view of unprecedented disruption brought on higher education during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This suggests the need to rethink our conceptualisations of employability amidst uncertainty and potential disruption to the future of work.

Got 15? Try Faculty Development on the Fly: A Snippets Workshop for Microlearning.

IntroductionFaculty development (FD) is an element critical to the professional growth of medical educators and a necessary component in developing effective educators. FD offerings are prevalent across academic institutions; however, faculty report they are unable to participate in these initiatives due to time limitations and competing priorities. The snippet FD approach can address these concerns but requires training for FD providers to be effectively used.MethodsThis snippet train-the-trainer workshop was presented to approximately 310 physician and nonphysician medical educators at a national medical education conference. The session incorporated multiple teaching modalities (e.g., lecture, demonstrations, structured small-group snippet development groups, and large-group debriefs). A 14-item Likert-scale survey was used to obtain participant evaluations. Narrative feedback was collected using constructed response items.ResultsNinety-five percent of respondents (125 of 132) planned to use snippets as an FD strategy at least once per year, with 38% (50 of 132) noting they planned to use snippets at least four times per year. Respondents indicated that FD snippets could positively impact educational practices (94%) and that the session was a valuable use of their time (94%), as well as expressing interest in a snippet repository (90%).DiscussionA brief FD train-the-trainer workshop for snippets can successfully prepare FD providers to create and use this approach.

Ice Ice Baby: Teaching Addiction Using Experiential Learning and Reflection

This activity was previously presented at the 2016 Association for Gerontology in Higher Education Annual Conference in Long Beach, California. Abstract Students are often reluctant to realize that their parents, grandparents, or older clients may be using or abusing drugs. Recent research indicates that alcohol is the most frequently abused substance among adults over 50. Prescriptions rank second, but research shows dramatic increases in the use of illicit drugs by older females. Additionally, the over 50 age group had the highest hospital admission for illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or opiates. The addiction simulation exercise ICE ICE BABY provides students with a deeper understanding of addiction, including an insight into the social experiences of drug/alcohol use and abuse. Explicit directions for using the exercise are included as well as reflections from students within two programs. Keywords: drug addiction, simulations, active learning, experiential learning DOI: 10.7176/JEP/11-6-16 Publication date: February 29 th 2020

Footnoting Fire

In 1990 Alan Read was invited to contribute to a panel at the Association of Theatre in Higher Education annual conference at the Palmer House Hotel Chicago. Convened by Professor Joseph Roach the panel was dedicated to exploring historical materialism and method. Despite having only previously had experience editing the publication Theatre Papers (a practitioner focused journal with no claim to historical rigour, but nevertheless great rigour) and the decade long direction of the neighbourhood theatre Rotherhithe Theatre Workshop in the Docklands area of South East London (which was all about survival in the everyday here and now), Read accepted the invitation to discover whether the pressured circumstances would prompt a creative and critically adequate, if not historically appropriate, response. The talk began with Read holding up two boxes of matches and asking the assembled to consider the theatre as operating between two extremes of a ‘safe’ and an ‘unsafe’ realm, a spectrum of risk across which all performance is negotiated. To mark the 100th issue of Performance Research, Read in this essay responds to that talk in real time, returning to the site of the original presentation and, as the title suggests, sets about ‘Footnoting Fire’. In this he reflects again upon Michel de Certeau’s formative work in The Writing Of History in which the process of historiography begins with a rupture or a break inaugurated ‘back then’, as distinct to now, and often by a death or deaths that cannot adequately be accounted for in the scriptural folds of the historian’s labour. In the years since the original outing for this material there have been some significant changes that Read has to account for in this newly written return: he can no longer hold the match-boxes as still as he once could, he no longer has such confidence in the securities of something once called ‘Nature’, he has the subsequent edition of Performance Research ‘On Fire’ in front of him, he is involved in the Capital Board Advisory Group helping to rebuild Battersea Arts Centre after its devastating fire three years ago, and close to his local West London neighbourhood the stevedores are covering up Grenfell Tower with a white shroud.
