– This essay aims to explore the changing academic landscape, P-16 and beyond. Experience and study has shown that the current model of education, in general, and post-secondary education in particular, cannot hold in a rapidly changing, increasingly digital world. Institutions, faculty and students cannot be embedded in an Ivory Tower, separate from the larger world.
– This is a structured essay exploring the future of education.
– How knowledge is created and acquired is changing. Student needs and access is evolving. Faculty rolls are being challenged. Economic models are under pressure and driving changes internationally.
– The article challenges conventional wisdom that incremental change in the higher education industry can be meaningfully accomplished, especially when driven by rapidly changing external factors.
