From my perspective the absolute starting point for developing any strategy is understanding what a university actually does (or at least, what it should do ideally). Now of course you could use the old joke and ask three academics what a university is for and you’ll get four opinions. Once you start to add the other interested parties; students, professional staff, teachers, sessional academics, politicians, industry partners you get many, many more opinions.

Game-based learning should just be another tool in the belt, as far as educators in higher ed think, particularly useful for "learning moments" that can help students succeed, according to new research from Muzzy Lane. Likewise, game-based learning is no good if it's pricey and complex to develop; it needs to be inexpensive and "authorable" by the faculty members themselves. And don't forget, students say, to make the games mobile so they work on the same devices the students like to use.

Research: Teachers Say Tech Distractions More Concerning than Privacy, Security -- Campus TechnologyMost teachers in the United States are more worried about the potential for technology in the classroom to distract students than they are about privacy and security, according to a new survey from Instructure.
