In Brief
A New Feature for Chronicle Subscribers | In a new feature, available to subscribers only, The Chronicle offers carefully curated collections of articles on important issues in higher education. So far, there are more than a dozen. Here are a couple of examples. |
| Higher education still falls short of providing enough opportunity to low-income students. This 44-page collection looks at some of the root causes of that phenomenon, and how colleges might better serve disadvantaged students. |
| The advent of online learning has made it possible to track an individual student’s path toward mastering course content. The seven articles in this guide consider how the data being collected can be tapped to improve teaching. |
Views | Vitae By Karen Kelsky We are in uncharted waters, but there is no question they are treacherous for academe. |
| Vitae By Melanie Nelson Good strategy is often the difference between a nice idea and one that truly makes a difference in the world. |
| Lingua Franca Anne Curzan pauses to consider which preposition will make the wording of a memo sound right. |
