For the past semester I have been working on a project where I study, critique and attempt to fix higher education.
There is no easy solution but I have found a few things that work in small settings or in isolated incidences. I feel these can be scaled for higher education en mass and that is a very good thing.
I present on Thursday and afterwards I will be stiching together the video and presentation (similar to TED talks and the like). I'm pretty proud of the results and it's a cool side project that I am glad I indulged myself in doing.
I just wanted to post about why I have been slightly less frequent/standardized on when I was posting. I'm going to try to write even more because I find the more I do this the better all of my writing gets.
As a short point I think a lot of the stuff I have seen in my study applies to the advertising industry. There are a lot of people talking about what needs to be done fighting with people who think the established norms are just fine.
But there is a reason that people are drawn to schools and agencies that are innovative. It is because those places use old thoughts in new ways. They offer something that gets people tremendously excited.
It is a pretty cool time for both industries. Keep an eye out here for the final video of the presentation.
