Students should seek out schools that offer outreach or counseling programs to help freshmen matriculate into collegiate life. It’s more than just an enrollments numbers game.
“Students should ask themselves, ‘Do these schools care about my success?’ and ‘Is it more important for me to be admitted than to graduate?'” said Ontiveros. “Colleges should really be upfront and share information about their efforts because many students don’t know to ask these questions.”
n the late 1970s, men and women attended college in almost equal numbers. Today, women account for 57 percent of enrollment and an even greater share of degrees, especially at the level of master’s and above. The explanations for this growing gender imbalance vary from the academic to the social to the economic.
In 2018, the female-male gap in enrollment among 18- to 24-year-olds stood at eight percentage points for Black and Hispanic students, and six percentage points for white students. Over all, nearly three million fewer men than women enrolled in college that year.
Though well-paying jobs are still available for men without a four-year degree — jobs in the skilled trades, and advanced manufacturing, for example — most require at least a certificate or associate degree.
The CX programs of the future will be holistic, predictive, precise, and clearly tied to business outcomes
Why use a survey to ask customers about their experiences when data about customer interactions can be used to predict both satisfaction and the likelihood that a customer will remain loyal, bolt, or even increase business?
We define student engagement as a constructivist approach to teaching and learning: less “sage on the stage” and more learning by doing.
Digital collaborative technologies embrace three important student engagement objectives: connecting students with the content, with the instructor, and with one another, within and across groups. Formulating, sharing, and getting feedback on responses benefits all students by increasing the exchange of ideas and approaches to the given prompt, helping students develop critical thinking skills through thoughtful peer review and analysis, and engaging them with timely feedback from expert instructors. Retaining these “blended learning” practices and additional affordances post-pandemic is worthwhile as we move to the next normal.
The five teaching enhancements/adaptations discussed above—collaborative technologies for sense-making, student experts in learning and technology, back channels, digital breakout rooms, and supplemental recording.

Campfire brings a new approach to AR/VR collaboration with innovative devices and applications designed to visualize and collaborate with 3D models and data. The company states that the resulting experience helps to advance the visual experience, ease-of-use, and workflow integration for users. Features of the Campfire platform include:
The Campfire Headset, which has a 92° diagonal field-of-view in AR, and a new level of comfort in VR;
The Campfire Console acts like a holographic projector to bring the intuitiveness and robustness of traditional monitors to shared holographic experiences;
The Campfire Pack turns a phone into a hand held controller to reduce the learning curve of dedicated controllers and gestural interfaces;
The Campfire Scenes app enables users to create, share, and control scenes composed from 40+ types of CAD/3D files;
The Campfire Viewer app enables users to work within 3D scenes alone or during video calls using a Campfire Headset, tablet, or phone.
The technology used in these VR applications tricks the brain into believing in another reality. For example, a patient on a hospital bed is virtually transported to an altered reality where the patient can enjoy an immersive experience of hiking in Machu Picchu or snorkelling under the Pacific Ocean or watching a serene sunset while sipping coconut water on a white sand beach. Called as VR distraction therapy, such virtual experience causes the brain to escape the present reality leading to less pain and anxiety.
