Please help us celebrate our 15th Anniversary: Leadership Across All Aspects of Distance Learning
Hello friends! National Distance Learning Week has arrived — November 7-11, 1 pm and 3 pm ET each day. Register here for the free NDLW sessions: https://usdla.org/ndlw-2022
Scroll down for a complete schedule.
Meet Monday’s speaker: Dr. Karen Ferguson (pictured right)
Topic: Stop Looking for a Playbook — There isn’t one
We’ve been taught to apply theory, look for models, and find evidence or data to support what we want to do. During this keynote, Karen will discuss how our educational experiences may be the very thing holding us back and what we can do about it.
Dr. Karen Ferguson has the vision to transform access and success in higher education. She has worked in nearly every model of higher education and firmly believes that education remains the key to socioeconomic mobility and multi-generational success. Karen is a collaborative leader and learning professional who achieves strategic results, improve individual and institutional performance, and increases organizational effectiveness. She has experience leading small, large, and cross-functional groups on multiple projects, including faculty and student performance, persistence and retention, curriculum and assessment, enrollment and program growth, and the student experience.
As a non-traditional student herself, Karen is dedicated to improving the academic success of adult, military, and other modern learners. To do that, Karen believes we must all focus on our ability to influence our organizations, legislators, and regulators.
