Description
A time traveler from 1990 would find many strange developments in today’s higher education. They would marvel at the large web presence each campus has, and wonder about faculty blogs, students on social media, the growing age of students, and the massive growth in online learning. They would be gobsmacked by the campus of 2030, when higher education has been transformed even more radically. In this keynote we explore our position half-way into the future. We consider technologies already starting to reshape teaching and research, including mobile devices, gaming, the open movement, and the rise of automation. We also address non-technological forces likely to change educational technology, such as new certification methods and the growing dominance of health care. How much of this new American campus can we glimpse in 2015
