Extended Abstract

Technology integration has been and continues to be a popular and necessary topic at all levels of higher education. This session will focus on helping higher education leaders recognize the impact of technology integration on student success, and includes discussion on how workforce demands, the continued rise in distance education, and an influx of non-traditional students have brought attention to technology skill gaps. Technology integration is more important than ever before, and this session will help attendees recognize the impact of technology integration, as well as provide an overview of tools to quickly and effectively integrate technology institution-wide.

Teaching and assessing 21st Century Skills is vital to preparing students to go into the workplace. Higher Ed has a duty to make sure students have mastered these skills so they can apply them. We will discuss tools for assessing both student and teacher 21st Century Skills, as well as show training for learning these important 21st Century Skills.
