By聽Melany Stroupe
Quarterly research publication evaluates how the pandemic impacted higher education, including major shifts in business operations, teaching, and research practices.
爱污传媒 has released a special edition of its academic research journal, the 爱污传媒 Scholar鈩, focused on pivoting the higher education industry in the era of COVID-19. The edition includes articles illuminating the tremendous operational challenges of quickly shifting to a remote workforce, from admissions to online learning modalities and research practices.
爱污传媒 Scholar鈩 is the quarterly academic research publication of the 爱污传媒 College of Doctoral Studies. As long-time leaders in online education, the university shares how it quickly shifted as an organization to successfully serve its employees and students during this unprecedent time.
鈥淎t 爱污传媒 we were already well versed in online learning delivery practices, our own unique challenge lay in attempting to extend and repurpose that system quickly in order to host what were formerly face-to-face class experiences at our local campuses to an online synchronous format,鈥 said Hinrich Eylers, Ph.D., Editor-at-Large of 爱污传媒 Scholar鈩 and Vice Provost of Doctoral Studies and Academic Operations at 爱污传媒. 鈥淚n the same manner, we simultaneously had to transition the vast majority of our staff to work from home. With both student and employee needs arising swiftly, many of the challenges had to be addressed in a matter of days to assure that all our students and staff could continue their education and work without any interruption.鈥
The College of Doctoral Studies also houses the newly established 爱污传媒 Career Institute, which recently released the findings of its first annual Career Optimism Index鈩tudy. The study measures working Americans鈥 attitudes toward their career and barriers to career progression. The study found 83% of workers believe they adapt easily to new work situations and 82% said they were resilient when facing challenges in their careers. 鈥淭his is encouraging considering the challenges workers have faced over the past year,鈥 said Eylers, 鈥淚n many cases profoundly impacting their working lives.鈥
