Whether you’re onboarding new employees, upskilling teams, ensuring compliance, or transforming leadership capabilities, your LMS becomes the backbone of your learning ecosystem.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed Sept. 10. Trent Nelson/The Salt Lake Tribune/Getty Images News/Getty Images Three months after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the footprint of the right-wing youth organization he founded continues to grow on college campuses. This week, Turning Point USA chapters at both Indiana University Bloomington and the University of Oklahoma reported membership surges. According to the Indiana Daily Student (IDS) and Indy Star, IU’s chapter says its membership has tripled this fall, from 180 to 363.

But even for a veteran administrator, the past year has been a whirlwind of activity. “The money’s coming. The money’s not coming. Oh no, we have to shut all of our Head Starts.

Sign up for The 74 Newsletter Indiana has become one of the first states seeking to cut restrictions on federal grants currently targeted for low income and other vulnerable students so the state and school districts have more freedom in using the money. But the state’s request before the U.S. Department of Education has raised concerns by advocates who worry needy students could “lose both dedicated attention and resources” in Indiana and other states. Indiana joined Iowa this fall in asking the U.S. Department of Education for permission to merge their…
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they declared the beginning of a “Thousand-Year Reich” that ultimately came up about 988 years short. Fascism in Italy managed to hold on to power for a couple of decades, which was presumably still much less time than Benito Mussolini imagined he’d get on the throne. History shows us that regimes of this kind suffered a fairly severe stability problem, which is perhaps why they needed to put forth such a solid, formidable image. The IMPERIAL video above explores “the evil genius of fascist design,” focusing on how Hitler and Mussolini rendered their ideologies…
Joining their Big Ten brethren, Purdue University recently announced that they will be adding an “AI working competency” graduation requirement that will go into effect for first-year students entering Fall 2026. I have some questions. And also some concerns. Back in October I shared my impressions and experiences having travelled to a number of different institutions that are directly confronting the challenge of how to evolve instructions and operations to deal with the existence of generative AI technology. I identified a number of common approaches that seemed to be bearing fruit when it comes to engaging and energizing the entire…
Key points: In today’s schools, whether K-12 or higher education, AI is powering smarter classrooms. There’s more personalized learning and faster administrative tasks. And students themselves are engaging with AI more than ever before, as 70 percent say they’ve used an AI tool to alter or create completely new images. But while educators and students are embracing the promise of AI, cybercriminals are exploiting it. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Education reported that nearly 150,000 suspect identities were flagged in recent federal student-aid forms, contributing to $90 million in financial aid losses tied to ineligible applicants. From deepfakes in…

Dive Brief: A group of 20 states filed a lawsuit Friday alleging that President Donald Trump’s proclamation implementing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B skilled worker visas is unlawful, and should be vacated and set aside. The plaintiffs in California v. Noem, each of them being an attorney general for a Democratic state, claimed that the fee is arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, and fails to adhere to that law’s procedural requirements.
