• EDU 657 Week 1 DQ 1 Colleges in the Colonial Era

• EDU 657 Week 1 DQ 2 Colonial Revival Colleges

• Colonial Revival Colleges. Thelin (2011) noted
  that the English universities Oxford and
  Cambridge greatly influenced early American
  higher education. In addition, Oxford and
  Cambridge were autonomous, privately endowed and
  linked to a federation. The collegiate system
  of combining learning and living was a seminal
  plan for higher education that college founders
  tried to capture for the American colonies.
  Discuss the various ways in which early American
  Colonial colleges did "not" emulate or resisted
  replicating the Oxford-Cambridge ideal. Describe
  the reasons for these changes and what the change
  agents were. Consider important factors such as
  college funding, curriculum, religion,
  architecture and the student population .What is
  your opinion about the changes? Do you feel that
  the established political powers should have
  taken a different direction or kept some of the
  key elements of the Oxford-Cambridge ideal?

• Colleges in the Colonial Era. In Chapter One,
  Thelin (2011) mentioned nine surviving colleges
  founded before 1781 Harvard, William and Mary,
  Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth,
  Rutgers, and Pennsylvania. Many feel that these
  colleges stand out as quality higher education
  institutions that have acquired prestige and
  longevity. Do you agree with these viewpoints?
  Consider how these colleges influenced
  perceptions of higher education today. What about
  the quality of education then and online learning
  now? Relate how these trends and events still
  impact higher education today.

• EDU 657 Week 1 Reflective Journal

• EDU 657 Week 2 DQ 1 Creating the American Way

• Creating the American Way. Medical schools during
  this time represented a good example of American
  societys enchantment for education without the
  overly strict rules and standards. Reflect on the
  role of Medical Colleges in higher education
  during the first half of the nineteenth century.
  Consider the educational preparation and
  requirements for medical doctors during this era.
  How do you feel that differs today? What
  influences are still impacting higher education
  today with regards to new educational programs
  and innovations? Consider the role that
  government regulation and accountability plays in
  higher education. How do you feel Americas
  approach to higher education building might
  change in the next 5- 10 years?

• Reflective Journal. Critically reflect on the
  personal impact of the foundations of education.
  Reflect on a time when you studied about the
  history of the Colonial Era in grade school,
  middle school, high school or college. What
  surprised you to discover about higher education
  during the Colonial era? Have your perceptions
  changed as a result of examining a few of the
  historical, political, ethical and/or economic
  foundations of higher education during this
  timeframe? How has this knowledge impacted your
  perceptions and experiences about higher
  education? Summarize how this information will
  change your teaching.

  Education

• EDU 657 Week 2 Higher Education, 1785-1890

• EDU 657 Week 2 Higher Education (History of
  Higher Education Women)

• Resilience in American Higher Education. Large
  scale philanthropy contributors who offered
  substantial gifts such as foundations, trusts,
  and estates were necessary to higher education
  budgets in order to pay for salaries, services
  and the construction of new buildings. The
  transformation of philanthropy in American higher
  education was the coming together of industry and
  religion in what was termed the Protestant work
  ethic. Discuss why this was important to wealthy
  entrepreneurs. From your readings, what
  challenges do current higher education
  institutions face with regards to funding? What
  are some of the possible solutions to these
  challenges? Do you believe it is still important
  today? Do you believe this work ethic perspective
  has changed in higher education today?

• EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 1 Captains of Industry

• EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 2 America Goes to College

• Captains of Industry. The wealth and energy
  between 1880 and 1910 was a unique and dynamic
  period in higher education. During this time the
  stock market was volatile and the rules that
  governed higher education were mostly absent. In
  addition, there was an abundance of industrial
  wealth, and a new level of philanthropic
  generosity toward higher education. Uncertainty
  and diversity were characteristics of this time
  period.

• America Goes to College. The age of
  university-building was also the golden age of
  the college. Attending college was popular and
  fashionable during 1890 through 1920. Obtaining a
  bachelors degree was a way for newly affluent
  families to enhance their social position.

• Cost of College, 1920-1945. Summarize the changes
  in the price of going to college from 1920-1945.
  Consider student employment opportunities and
  positive influences of the various relief work

  type of public work project(s) could work today?
  Why or why not? What are some options that
  students have today to pay for college? Give your
  perspectives on how college education could be
  funded.

• Success and Excess. Thelin (2011) mentioned that
  from World War I to World War II, university and
  college enrollments increased dramatically.
  However, the retention of students presented a
  challenge during this time period. College
  administrators had some difficulty managing
  students because of the expanded number of
  students being enrolled. Discuss the role and
  responsibilities of faculty members during this
  time. How have these roles and responsibilities
  changed today? How have these stayed the same? Do
  you think that college administrators and faculty
  members did the best they could to retain their
  students? Why or why not? What could they have

• EDU 657 Week 4 Higher Education, 1920-1945

• EDU 657 Week 4 Reflective Journal

  impact of topics, trends, and events of

  scholarship and teaching? What do you plan to do
  to further your career with regards to
  scholarship and teaching? Do you look forward to
  publishing? Do you have a particular workshops or
  training in mind? Write a book? Share your
  thoughts.

• Higher Education, 1920-1945. From 1920-1945,
  there was significant expansion and reforms in
  higher education. Reflect upon the opportunities
  to attend college for women during this time
  period. Women made up about 40 of the
  undergraduate enrollments in 1940. This was
  remarkable considering that women were not
  permitted to earn a bachelors degree just 60
  years prior to 1940. Also of significance were
  the womens colleges of the privileged elite such
  as Wellesley, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and
  Barnard to name a few. Examine colleges for women
  during this time period and compare them to your
  educational experiences today.

• EDU 657 Week 5 DQ 1 Gilt by Association

• EDU 657 Week 5 DQ 2 Coming of Age in America

• Coming of Age in America. From 1970 -2000, most
  higher education institutions encountered various
  challenges and issues. Although higher education
  made an effective transition to mass education
  access, it was more difficult to transition to
  universal education access. In addition, because
  of the diversity of students who were entering
  college higher education, higher education
  institutions required tailoring. Discuss the
  impact of topics, trends, and events of 1970-2000
  era on higher education. Explain the components
  that contributed to the Coming of Age in
  American higher education. What were the main
  issues during this time period? Do you feel that
  higher education institutions solved most of the
  issues of 1970 -2000? Why or why not?

• Gilt by Association. From 1945-1970, a new set of
  problems helped to transform higher education.
  After 1949 there was an explosion of enrollments
  due to governmental agencies that recognized that
  higher education had been proven effective, even
  during the war. This led them to create public
  policies at both the state and federal level.
