Create an Engaging Syllabus: A Concise, 7-Step Guide for Professors
How do I write a syllabus? What kind of tone should it set? Isn't there a template I can just use? These are some of the questions many professors--especially if you're NEW--want answered. You just want the specifics, minus the jargon. A syllabus that captivates students and gets them excited about the course you teach.
The problem is, students think our course syllabus is like a contract. And who can blame them for thinking that way, with its hefty requirements, policies, objectives, and outcomes? We forget the syllabus is often the first thing students see about us, so it can really affect the way they approach your course.
Yet most of us never really learned how to create one, especially one that ENGAGES. We adapt old versions written by some retired instructor years ago. It's time we found a better way.
CREATE AN ENGAGING SYLLABUS: A Concise, 7-Step Guide for Professors gives you the roadmap you've always wanted. Here's what it covers:
- The right way to think of your syllabus (HINT: It's not a contract)
- How to make your tone and language more inviting
- How to instantly captivate your students' attention (HINT: avoid the formal "Course Description" language)
- How to deal with the "boring" but required stuff (i.e., policies, outcomes, etc.)
- How to leverage the way Millennials read and absorb information
- Powerful ways to capture visual appeal
Most importantly, this book includes TEMPLATES. Two of them.
You get a simply-designed, text-only version--for those who don't want to mess around. You also get a more graphic version, for that extra WOW factor. Both will get students in the right frame of mind.
Written by Norman Eng--bestselling author of TEACHING COLLEGE: The Ultimate Guide to Lecturing, Presenting, and Engaging Students)--CREATE AN ENGAGING SYLLABUS takes a routine topic and gives it the makeover professors have been asking for. Find out the 7 simple steps to a winning syllabus in this power-packed, 62-paged book.

Club College: Why So Many Universities Look Like Resorts
Club College is a chapter excerpt from Change.edu coming out October 18, 2011.
On college campuses nationwide, luxury and learning go hand-in-hand, keeping the price tag for higher education out of reach for many Americans. Education innovator, and chairman and CEO of Kaplan, Inc., Andrew S. Rosen examines today's resort-style campus, providing inspiring solutions for stopping the spending spirals and making college affordable for all.
Despite the financial crunch, many American universities have become surprisingly lavish over the past decade, providing state-of-the-art recreation facilities, bistro-style dining, spectacular residence halls that rival fine hotels, and "free" amenities such as Kindles, not to mention multi-million-dollar stadiums and coaches' salaries starting in the high six figures. Showcasing these extraordinary campuses, "Club College" captures the new economic models of higher education, which often divert funds from academics to gain a competitive edge in attracting an elite group of students. On this fascinating tour, Andrew S. Rosen proposes bold new alternatives that focus our nation's dollars on learning.
Poised to spark a dialogue about our nation's higher education system, "Club College" makes the classroom the centerpiece of college once again, opening doors to careers for a broad range of talented individuals--arguably our greatest economic asset.

How to Take Your Skills Online: Creative Strategies for Teaching Health and Exercise On the Internet
Imagine giving up your day job in order to teach what you are passionate about.
Imagine committing yourself to writing 12 books, composing 12 songs and recording over 120 sessions in just 12 months.
Now, Imagine doing it all online.
This ebook is for anyone curious about the rapidly changing world of online education. Whether you are interested in setting up and running an online school, or simply curious about the possibilities of learning an exercise or health related art on the Internet, this book is for you.
I have been teaching my entire life, from languages to exercise classes, specialising in the art of Tai Chi the last few decades. In 2016 I gave up teaching locally and transferred my classes online. Many people expressed doubts that such a 'hands-on' art like Tai Chi Chuan could be taught in this way, so I compiled this book to show not only how it can be taught, but also the broad benefits in doing so for both students and teachers.
These changes in education are often interpreted and explored through academic studies, yet I have chosen here to use the underlying philosophy of Tai Chi to make sense of these changes, for this ancient wisdom offers long-term insights that other fields have, to date, over-looked. You will therefore find references, analogies and quotes from Chinese sources scattered amongst the chapters. I hope they will serve to explain these changing concepts in a more approachable and less formal style.
Online education is finally blossoming at a moment in which versatile and powerful mobile devices have finally arrived in the hands of a great number of people, enabling access to an exciting world of tuition for both students and teachers alike.
In this book you learn about:
*Teaching online physical education (using Tai Chi as an example).
*Creating a Master-Plan
*The most common objections to learning online
*Tactics for choosing a name, platform and course length
*Unforeseen obstacles and the benefits of collaboration
*Using your course as currency
*Mistakes made and lessons learnt after the first year
Featuring online teaching examples for you to view, audio files and podcasts, graphics and promotional work that will help you convert your passion into a 21st century online business.

Harvard Envy: Why Too Many Colleges Overshoot
Harvard Envy is a chapter excerpt from Change.edu coming out October 18, 2011.
Exploring the limitations of the exclusive, tradition-bound world of higher education, innovator Andrew S. Rosen, chairman and CEO of Kaplan, Inc., delivers a vision for making a world-class college experience available to students of all backgrounds.
Little is known about John Harvard, who bequeathed his books and ?779 to a fledgling college on the Charles River in the 1630s, but the institution that bears his name has become the gold standard for universities worldwide. Tracing this fascinating history, and the history of American higher education overall, "Harvard Envy" raises important questions about the effect of super-elite campuses on America's educational landscape. Just as Congress hotly debated whether to approve land-grant colleges in the nineteenth century, opening the doors of higher education to farmers, we face a competitive new demand for a highly educated workforce. Yet many colleges continue to insist on limiting access, and many college applicants continue to believe that exclusive institutions deliver the highest quality.
With an eye-opening examination of the U.S. News and World Report college rankings and other barometers, "Harvard Envy" takes an enlightened look at how universities allocate resources and talent. Offering an inspiring alternative to the Ivory Tower playbook, Andrew S. Rosen presents a bold, cost-effective new vision for a truly competitive higher education system that serves both individual and national interests.

Opening Science: The Evolving Guide on How the Internet is Changing Research, Collaboration and Scholarly Publishing
Modern information and communication technologies, together with a cultural upheaval within the research community, have profoundly changed research in nearly every aspect. Ranging from sharing and discussing ideas in social networks for scientists to new collaborative environments and novel publication formats, knowledge creation and dissemination as we know it is experiencing a vigorous shift towards increased transparency, collaboration and accessibility. Many assume that research workflows will change more in the next 20 years than they have in the last 200. This book provides researchers, decision makers, and other scientific stakeholders with a snapshot of the basics, the tools, and the underlying visions that drive the current scientific (r)evolution, often called 'Open Science.'

Global Perspectives on Recognising Non-formal and Informal Learning: Why Recognition Matters (Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects)
This book deals with the relevance of recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning education and training, the workplace and society. In an increasing number of countries, it is at the top of the policy and research agenda ranking among the possible ways to redress the glaring lack of relevant academic and vocational qualifications and to promote the development of competences and certification procedures which recognise different types of learning, including formal, non-formal and informal learning. The aim of the book is therefore to present and share experience, expertise and lessons in such a way that enables its effective and immediate use across the full spectrum of country contexts, whether in the developing or developed world. It examines the importance of meeting institutional and political requirements that give genuine value to the recognition of non-formal and informal learning; it shows why recognition is important and clarifies its usefulness and the role it serves in education, working life and voluntary work; it emphasises the importance of the coordination, interests, motivations, trust and acceptance by all stakeholders. The volume is also premised on an understanding of a learning society, in which all social and cultural groups, irrespective of gender, race, social class, ethnicity, mental health difficulties are entitled to quality learning throughout their lives. Overall the thrust is to see the importance of recognising non-formal and informal learning as part of the larger movement for re-directing education and training for change. This change is one that builds on an equitable society and economy and on sustainable development principles and values such as respect for others, respect for difference and diversity, exploration and dialogue.
