2019 Key Issues in Teaching and Learning

EDUCAUSE have published the results of their annual survey (1,400 members of the Higher Education community - I assume North American members of EDUCAUSE) on key issues in teaching and learning. The issues are:
1. Faculty Development and Engagement; 2. Online and Blended Learning; 3. Instructional and Learning Experience Design; 4. Digital and Information Literacy (hurrah! this was no. 5 last year); 5. Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL); 6. Competency and New Methods of Learning Assessment; 7. Learning Analytics; 8. Open Education; 9. Evaluating Instructional and Learning Innovations; 10. Academic Transformation (this doesn't mean Minerva McGonagall turning Malfoy into a hedgehog, but it inspired the choice of illustration to this post. Apparently academic transformation requires "actionable insight, compelling stories, and student-centeredness"); 11. Adaptive Teaching and Learning; 12. Learning Spaces (including Makerspaces); 13. Microcredentialing and Digital Badging; 14. Digital Learning Architectures; 15. Integrated Planning and Advising Systems for Student Success (iPASS).
