Student Readiness: Learning to Learn

Instructure’s chief academic officer Melissa Loble highlights a persistent "readiness gap" where graduates lack the adaptive, technological, and self‑learning skills demanded by modern workplaces. She defines readiness as resilience, digital fluency, and the ability to understand one’s own learning process. Loble notes students feel unprepared because higher‑education programs offer few low‑stakes opportunities to practice these competencies. The conversation calls for a broader focus on "learning to learn" rather than narrow skill checklists.
