Opportunities & Obligations Among Faculty Leaders at Public Liberal Arts Colleges A Participatory Keynote Address COPLAC Conference UNCA, June 9, 2005 By Professor David G. Brown Chancellor UNCA ( ) Interim President GC&SU (Fall 2003) Coordinator ACC-IAC (2000-now)

Why I Might Have Come to this Conference Opportunities to Strengthen my university’s distinctive mission. Opportunities to Enhance Teaching Effectiveness

COPLAC at Founding The success story in American undergraduate education has been the small private liberal arts college. Since the 1950’s, the % of students enrolled in such colleges had plummeted from 40+% to 15-%! There was a set of small public colleges poised to do a “comparable” job. This set needed more identity, recognition, funding, self confidence, and opportunities for sharing. 1982

How the “COPLAC Identity” Adds Value Enhances How We View OURSELVES! –Self Respect/Trust/Courage/Morale (PLU) –Especially among our students & faculty Enhances How OTHERS View Us! –Legislators/Foundations/Community/Boards –USN&WR. IHE colleagues. –Prospective Students Enables Us To BE BETTER! –Affinity Learning (e.g. this conference) –Shared Work (e.g. lead college, joint purchasing)

The Attributes That Differentiate Public Liberal Arts Colleges From the “Compass” Universities Your Turn to Work Write down 3-5 attributes!

The Attributes That Differentiate Public Liberal Arts Colleges Your answers

The Attributes That Differentiate Public Liberal Arts Colleges Small (less than 5000 students) Statewide (< 25% home county) Undergraduate (<5% graduate students) Selective (above SAT/ACT average) Liberal Arts Emphasis Extensive Co-curricular Programming Highly Interactive/Collaborative

Q#1: Upon returning, what can YOU do to enrich/enhance one of these differentiators?

Q#2: How can you help your colleagues anticipate the future of teaching and learning?

Reasons 150 Professors Redesigned Their Courses 1.Communication-Interaction 2.Collaboration-Teams 3.Consultants-Adjuncts 4.Customization-Diversity 5.Controversy-Debate

Communication-Interaction Muddiest One Minute Quiz Team Editing

New “Student” Mentality Learn by Trial and Error (Nintendo) Expect Immediate Feedback,..the world Accept Multi-Tasking & Channel Changing Use Keyboard More Than Pen & Pencil Keep In Touch Everywhere with Everybody Demand High Quality Multi-Media Provide just-enough & just-in-time learning Insist upon courses that match personal learning style Think in bulleted lists & sound bites

New Faculty Roles Become scouts, analysts, strategists, coaches Provide Interactive & Group Learning Experiences Guide & Sequence Individual Learning Strategies Rate and Certify Learning Resources Expect Second Opinions & Open Classrooms Manage Corps of Adjuncts & Course Assistants Teach Collaboratively Give over control of learning to students Build and sell chunks

New Course Formats More Interaction, even in the Classroom More Projects, much like early K-12 years More Asynchronous Learning Web Presence for every course Flexible Classrooms and Seat Time Hybrid Pedagogy (The Rule) Studio Teaching is spreading from RPI Chunk Learning (Sold & Bought) Trans-Disciplinary Different Strokes for Different Folks

Future of Universities Bright because— –Right values –Right size –Right funding –Right cost –Right faculty –Right leadership Good Luck in the days ahead!
