Boosting productivity in US higher education — from McKinsey Quarterly by Cota, Jayaram, Laboissière
Excerpt:
The United States needs more college graduates. Opinions vary on exactly how many, but McKinsey estimates that the nation will need an additional one million each year by 2020 to sustain its economic health. That would mean increasing today’s annual total—2.5 million—by 40 percent.
To meet this goal, universities and colleges would have to increase their output of graduates by 3.5 percent a year over the next decade. That’s a daunting task for two reasons. First, it would cost an additional $52 billion a year, based on 2008 costs to produce a graduate. Yet many states, plagued by fiscal woes, have recently lowered spending on higher education, a trend that’s unlikely to be reversed. Second, to achieve this increase, colleges would need to enroll many more than 3.5 percent more freshmen each year, because today, on average, only 40 percent of students who enroll go on to graduate.

The Virtual University — by Anya Kamenetz | April 20, 2010 — my thanks to Mr. Jeff Wiggerman at Davenport University for this resource
Why cash-strapped colleges need to stop worrying and learn to love the online classroom.
“At this point, however, the hybrid, NCAT-style course-redesign models seem most compelling. Not only do they show some of the best learning results, but they’re in keeping with the multifaceted history of the university, and they offer the reassurance of familiarity — a scaffolding, if you will, for the transition to new modes of teaching.”
