Enrollment Growth University: Higher Education

Laura Dicht, Manager of Online Program Quality at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, joined the podcast to talk about a new course quality management position that many institutions need to consider adding to their teams.

As universities are striving to increase student collaboration, Dr. Scott Roberts is succeeding.

He started at the beginning. In the classroom.

He believes traditional learning spaces were designed with the teacher in mind, so they could speak at students. Collaboration was never a component of the traditional lecture hall setup.

That’s all changing at The University of Maryland.

Dr. Roberts is the director of the Teaching and Learning Transformation Center, where he oversees a campus-wide effort to support and inspire effective and engaging learning spaces.

He received his Ph.D at UMD in Social Psychology, before working for the federal government doing psychology research. He came back to UMD as the director of undergraduate studies in psychology, and then later transferred his passion to advance education to the entire campus.

He joined us on this episode of the Enrollment Growth University to share how his team is utilizing innovation in learning spaces with movable furniture, advanced technology, and creativity to inspire deeper collaboration among students.
