Great insights  on the annual  meeting of the American Association of Colleges and Universities  from Bryan Alexander here.

Bryan nicely documents the various threads/themes running through the conference.  It is always an intriguing mixture of discussions concerning:

challenges to the liberal model of higher education

the democratizing role of technology in education (and the perceived threat  it poses to the liberal  model)

study abroad

new/innovative pedagogy

As always, Bryan offers  some great food for thought.  More to  come in response to his posting.   For now, I’m happy to publicize his thoughts.
