SUMMARY:Understanding the Crisis in College Reading & How Digital Texts are Making it Worse
DESCRIPTION:With Nic Voge\, senior associate director\, McGraw Center for Teaching & Learning. \nRecent articles in the popular press and in higher education journals have lamented a “crisis” in reading among college students. Few\, though\, have thoughtfully analyzed the origins of the problem or considered the role college reading demands themselves play in it. Nor have they made realistic proposals to address the root causes of the issue. Research reveals\, however\, that college level reading and learning from extended\, complex academic texts make distinctive cognitive demands on students requiring them to develop not only new knowledge\, strategies and skills\, but also new understandings about reading and learning from texts—and how to do it well. \nNic Voge earned his master’s degree in advanced reading and language (reading specialist) from UC Berkeley and undertook doctoral work there in college reading and learning. He has taught workshops\, seminars and courses on college reading and learning from text at UC Berkeley and Princeton University and has presented and published on topics related to college reading\, learning\, motivation and teaching\, including Life Beyond Grades: Designing College Courses to Promote Intrinsic Motivation (Cambridge University Press). \nSponsored by the McGraw Center for Teaching & Learning

SUMMARY:Understanding Your Student’s Academic Transition to College: Insights from 25 Years at Princeton and Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:A great deal of attention is given to getting into selective colleges\, but much less on what students can and should do academically after they get there. Specifically\, how do students change and improve their approaches to reading\, learning\, studying\, time and task management\, etc. to meet the unfamiliar\, more demanding and qualitatively different expectations of university professors? This session will uncover and unpack important differences between high school and university demands\, ways to meet new challenges and how students can make most of their opportunities\, make a successful transition and achieve their academic goals. \nNic Voge directs the McGraw Center’s Learning Programs\, including the Undergraduate Learning Program and the Graduate Learning Program. Nic explores the unique and often hidden educational expectations and demands of elite research universities and equips students with the knowledge\, skills and strategies to meet them. \nNic undertook doctoral work at UCBerkeley in college reading and learning and has worked in the field for over 25 years. He is a founding member of the Princeton Perspective Project\, Principedia\, and the Academic Resilience Consortium (formerly The Resilience Consortium). He presents and consults internationally\, is a TEDX presenter\, and has authored ‘Life Beyond Grades: Designing College Courses to Promote Intrinsic Motivation’ (Cambridge University Press). \nSponsored by the McGraw Center for Teaching & Learning
