Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning

Change, which is published six times a year, is a magazine dealing with contemporary issues in higher education. It is intended to stimulate and inform reflective practitioners in colleges, universities, foundations, government, and elsewhere. Using a magazine format rather than that of an academic journal, Change spotlights trends; provides new insights and ideas; and analyzes the implications of educational programs, policies, and practices.

Over the past few years, the magazine has included articles on the assessment of student learning and engagement, MOOCs and other developments in online education, international higher education, the use of social media in teaching and learning, competency-based credentialing, effective educational practices, learning styles and the insights gleaned from the learning sciences, the college completion agenda, state performance initiatives, and interstate cooperation on licensing out-of-state providers, among others. It features the voices of students describing their college experiences and of faculty about their teaching practices, as well as the perspectives of higher education leaders on important current issues. It includes, as well, descriptions of books worth reading, data analyses, and historical perspectives on current issues.

Audience
Change is intended for leaders in colleges and universities, as well as those in other settings who have a stake in higher education. These include faculty, administrators, trustees, state and federal officials, foundation officers, students, and many others.
