In August of 2010, we launched the HELIX Innovations Collection, a web site aimed at showcasing innovative practices in higher education, across the spectrum of academics, student services, administration, research, and beyond. Our other obligations soon got in the way of our continuing to keep the Collection updated. In the spring of 2011, however, we are working on strategies to continue the work of growing the Innovations Collection. We could use your help! If you like what we're trying to do with the Collection, please get in touch and let us know you'd like to join our efforts. Meanwhile, please visit the Collection, rate and comment on innovations you see, and read more about the Collection below. ...................................................... FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: A
NEW, CROWDSOURCED RESOURCE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION PRACTITIONERS,
RESEARCHERS, AND POLICY MAKERS HIGHLIGHTS POSTSECONDARY INNOVATION The Higher Education Leadership and Innovation eXchange Launches the HELIX Innovations Collection Boston, Massachusetts - August 19, 2010 - The Higher Education Leadership and Innovation eXchange (HELIX) announces the launch of their online, crowdsourced resource HELIX Innovations Collection at http://innovations.helixhighered.com. The Innovations Collection is intended to spark conversation about new ideas and promising practices for the next generation of higher education. Applying the interactive potential of Web 2.0 technologies to problems in higher education provides the opportunity to share innovations quickly, identify their potential, and refine them with the help of peers worldwide. Visitors to the Collection can suggest innovative solutions, comment on suggested ideas, and rate an idea's potential to influence the field along several 'innovation dimensions'. "It is our hope that the innovations which receive broad support and fine-tuning by the 'crowd' will be picked up by practitioners in the field and discussed, piloted, and perhaps even implemented by their home institutions. We hope that true linkages between and among research, policy, and practice will be forged from such collaborative efforts," said HELIX co-founder Greg Lamontagne. About the Higher Education Leadership & Innovation eXchange (HELIX) HELIX is a networking and information sharing resource for Higher Education research, policy, and practice. Founded in 2010 by Jim Woodell and Greg Lamontagne, HELIX is located in Boston Massachusetts. More information is available at http://www.helixhighered.com.
