Chicago, June 17, 2021: Campus Consortium, a global nonprofit education association, will be hosting a live EdTalk titled “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Is Your Campus Prepared for Online DEI?” on Thursday, June 24, 2021, at 2:00 pm ET.
Higher Education DEI experts will discuss Online Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to help members of the education community understand accessibility and DEI as it related to use of technology in academics, student services, instruction, and campus culture.
The EdTalk features Rochelle Newton, Ed.D., Assistant Divisional Chief Operating Officer, Duke Health Technology Solutions; Tabitha Smith, M.Ed., Interim Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, The University of Virginia’s College at Wise; Santiba D. Campbell, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Bennett College; and Karl Horvath, Ph.D., President at Campus Consortium.
“Increasing use of technology in education means more students consume instruction and services in an online environment. The recent pandemic accelerated the shift from on ground to online. As this rapid change occurs, the education sector must ensure access and usability of technology is fair and equitable for all students.” said Karl Horvath, Ph.D., President of Campus Consortium.
“The pandemic’s impact forced many in the education sector to find solutions for online learning and a mobile workforce. With little time for planning, implementation and shrinking budgets institutions require user friendly, secure and affordable collaboration technology for teaching, learning and working. Google for Education and AmplifiedIT offer innovation and security for schools that need affordable effective solutions,” said Karl Horvarth, Ph.D., President of Campus Consortium

EdTalk on Why Digital Accessibility is Essential in Higher Education All students have the right to access education, and educational institutions are responsible for ensuring they’re providing an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

EdTalk on Evaluating a Next Generation Student Information System Higher Education is finding it increasingly difficult to rely on legacy student information systems (SIS) to address the needs of a changing and diverse student population. The SIS is the system of record, authority for academic decision making and key system for facilitating the management and development of an institution’s critical data. |
