Online Learning Update

by Joshua Kim, Inside Higher Ed

There is a new sort of gig in higher ed: the digital learning innovation evangelist. Who are these people? What do they do? Are their jobs really different from leadership roles that have come before? What is their professional home? What is their professional association? And where do they gather? These are all good questions. One place where I’ll be trying to get some answers is this summer’s SOLA+R: Summit for Online Leadership and Administration + Roundtable. This University Professional and Continuing Education Association event brings together folks who are thinking about digital and online learning through an institutional lens. I’ve gotten involved in UPCEA through my work as an (unpaid) fellow for the association’s National Council for Online Education.
