On July 2, 2013, the American Council on Education (ACE) announced the launch of the Presidential Innovation Lab, a collaboration of 14 university and college leaders, including University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly, who are at the forefront of innovative efforts to increase access to quality education for underserved audiences. The initiative will open a dialogue to address how new technologies like massive open online courses (MOOCs) can help national higher education institutions close the college attainment gap especially among nontraditional and low-income students. Additionally, the group will discuss the impact that implementing these innovations might have on institutional design and financial models.
