Flipped classrooms aren’t a new concept, but they saw adoption at scale during the pandemic as educators looked for ways to keep college students interested and engaged from beyond the classroom. Even with a partial return to in-person learning, many higher education institutions still use flipped classroom models for HyFlex and hybrid instruction. Here’s what that looks like, both in theory and in practice.

Research has repeatedly found that higher education programs in prisons reduce recidivism. And the higher a degree an incarcerated person earns, the less likely they are to re-offend, down to a 0% recidivism rate for those who have earned a master’s, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Now, Colorado, which has the fourth-highest recidivism rate in the United States , has taken one of the boldest steps of any state to incentivize people in prison to get a credential.

Students are the lifeblood of higher education. All of the energy that faculty, staff and administrators devote to their universities is directed toward improving the student experience, student outcomes and lifelong student success. Without students, there would be no universities, no IT departments and no technology decisions to be made. Engaged student bodies bring campuses to life and invigorate classroom discussion, whether that’s done in a lecture hall or through a computer screen.
