During their orientation, CoAction Learning Lab Community Partners shared readings or videos that represent the subject matter and perspectives collectively deemed important. Participants were specifically asked to submit resources relevant to envisioning the future of teaching and learning in higher education. Learning leaders, technology leaders, and students across the Community Partner institutions made their selections. The end result is a list of inspirational and informative readings/videos, organized by theme, for higher education innovators — particularly as a new school year begins for many.
