The Future of Higher Education Enrollment With Dr. Thomas Cavanagh

Welcome to the first episode of Teach & Learn, a podcast for curious educators brought to you by D2L. In today’s episode, we dig into enrollment trends in the higher education space. Student enrollment at universities and colleges has been declining for years, a problem that was only hastened by the pandemic.

To discuss the topic further and offer strategies higher education institutions can deploy to address this growing concern, we welcomed Dr. Thomas Cavanagh, Vice Provost for Digital Learning at the University of Central Florida (UCF).

Dr. Cavanagh and Dr. Cristi Ford (VP of Academic Affairs at D2L) chatted about the difference between intentional and emergency online instruction, how UCF supports faculty to create intentional and strategic blended learning experiences, the value of a degree at a time when debt loads are high and what the rise of micro-credentials means for higher education institutions.
