Leadership Interview Series: Jennifer Green from Longwood University
Welcome back to The Magellan Podcast: Navigating Education in the 21st Century.
In today’s episode, the team interviews Dr. Jennifer Green, Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, as a part of our “Managing Boundaries, Managing Change” Leadership Interview series. Jennifer oversees admissions, the registrar’s office, financial aid, first-year experience, student employment, and a variety of student support offices.
If there’s one constant in our educational environment, it’s change. Managing change provides a unique set of challenges for leaders, who have to understand what needs to be changed and plot out a course for how that change should occur. Change is particularly difficult because it touches something most of us hold near and dear-our comfortable lives. Join the Magellan team, and guest Jennifer Green, as they discuss ways in which leaders have navigated changes at their institutions in the past.

Higher Education as a Marketplace
มุมมอง 75 หลายเดือนก่อน
Colleges cannot escape the fact that they are businesses: they offer a “product” that they need to “sell” to consumers. Of course, education and students are not “products” and “consumers” in the same way that people shopping at the grocery store are! So what’s at stake in embracing or questioning the idea that higher education is a marketplace? This is part 5 of a 5-part series on "How to Talk...
Higher Education as an Institution
5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Language about the “institution” of higher education is unavoidable-so much so that individual campuses refer to themselves as such. But what does this mean? What’s at stake in a campus thinking of itself in these terms? This is part 4 of a 5-part series on "How to Talk About Higher Education." Part 1-3 covered Higher Ed as an "ecosystem," "culture," and "machine." In the next and last episode,...
Higher Education as a Machine
5 หลายเดือนก่อน
No one likes to refer to higher education as a machine or a factory, though it is true that many major players in the higher ed sphere have a great number of machine-like processes in place. These help them to recruit and enroll students, identify students who may not retain, and increase efficiency in many areas of campus operations. What does it mean when a university embraces its machine-lik...
Higher Education as a Culture
มุมมอง 35 หลายเดือนก่อน
“Culture” may be understood as all the things people don’t think about but have internalized as part of “the way things are.” One of the roles higher education plays is in helping people to adapt to and hold a good understanding of culture-the campus, the discipline of study, and society more broadly. Join us as we discuss the implications of understanding higher education as a culture. This is...
How to Talk About Higher Education
มุมมอง 15 หลายเดือนก่อน
If you listen to discussions about higher education, you’ll find a plethora of ways that people talk about it. Is it a workforce development machine? Is it a training ground for future leaders? Is it a place where people grow into fully-fledged human beings? The answer is “yes”-it’s all these. And the language we use to talk about higher education affects how we do it. Join us for a conversatio...
A Conversation About How a Great Vendor-Institutional Partnership Can Look
5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Wytheville Community College (www.wcc.vccs.edu/) has a thriving dual enrollment program that serves the needs of many students in southwest Virginia. When WCC lost its dual enrollment partner at the eleventh hour, Dean Susan Evans had to act fast. Through a partnership with Magellan, WCC was able to reinvigorate its dual enrollment program-and the partnership continues to this day. The Magellan...

How Instructional Designers Help with Cognitive Load Issues
มุมมอง 75 หลายเดือนก่อน
We've spent a lot of time talking about the theory of cognitive load and some ways we might apply it in our classrooms. Instructional designers can be instrumental in helping instructors to think through the ways their courses create and distribute cognitive load. Join the Magellan partners, and special guest, Dr. Chris Davis, Assistant Director of Learning Design and Development at Magellan, a...
Germane Load
5 หลายเดือนก่อน
If you're like most people, you've probably learned some piece of information and then, as soon as it didn't seem useful anymore, promptly forgot it. It takes a lot of effort to move knowledge from short-term memory to longer-term memory, where you can call on it over and over again. Today's conversation about germane load will give us tips for helping students do this more effectively. This po...
Schema Formation
มุมมอง 15 หลายเดือนก่อน
Did you ever have a student who was able to memorize everything you said but couldn't quite understand how it all fit together? Have you ever found yourself fielding questions about what the point of an assignment is? If so, you might want to spend a little time pondering SCHEMAS with us-one of the key components of cognitive load that can help us move students from simply memorizing material t...
Cognitive Load
มุมมอง 15 หลายเดือนก่อน
Cognitive load has been a major topic of conversation among psychologists and educators for the past few decades. Thanks to research in this area, we now have the capacity to design activities and curriculum in a way that helps students to use their mental space effectively for learning new material. But this concept goes beyond what’s happening in the learning space alone and touches all aspec...
Online Learning Ecosystems
5 หลายเดือนก่อน
What is an Online Learning Ecosystem? Online Learning, especially at the higher education level, requires more than just courses and instructors. It requires courses to be designed intentionally and the instructors to be trained specifically for the online environment. Additionally, the entire online student journey from inquiry to graduation requires an interconnected student-focused network m...
Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI)
มุมมอง 195 หลายเดือนก่อน
Our first episode grapples with the Department of Education’s new standards for online learning, RSI, or Regular and Substantive Interaction. Many institutions are asking: what does RSI mean, and how might our online division seek to meet its stipulations?
