Hosted by Eduventures, Inc. & The Presidents' Forum

About: Eduventures and The Presidents' Forum are hosting a Web conference to update the online higher education community on some of the challenges and opportunities we face as a sector. This Web conference is an excellent chance to engage with thought-leaders on a range of important topics which are central to the Presidents Forum's efforts to advance the cause of adult and online higher education.

Our panel includes Frank Myadas, Program Director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, James Hall, former President, SUNY Empire State College, Michael Offerman, Vice Chairman, External University Initiatives, Capella University, John F. Ebersole, President, Excelsior College, and Michael Goldstein, Member, Dow Lohnes, PLLC. The Web conference will focus on three areas:

• State Regulation
  • Recent regulatory actions of such states as Kentucky and Kansas, which appear to discriminate against online teacher certification programs
  
  
• Accountability
  • The early success and ongoing development of the "Transparency by Design" initiative, by means of which a growing group of adult and online-focused institutions plan to report comparable outcomes and other data
  
  
• Promotion
  • Progress of the Forum's new "Access to Learning" online education demonstration project, which aims to raise awareness of the power and potential of online higher education
  
  

The Web conference will be delivered as a discussion among a distinguished panel:

• James W. Hall (Moderator), Chancellor Emeritus, Antioch University and former President, SUNY Empire State College
• Frank Mayadas, Program Director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
• John F. Ebersole, President, Excelsior College
