Turbulent Change...

Higher education is in the midst of turbulent change. An academic culture steeped in reflection and teaching is being disrupted and reconstructed into a globally connected ecosystem of networked, 24X7X365 learning. Roles and paradigms held dear and true are challenged – as they were in healthcare, journalism and the music industry. The rate of change, and unpredictable and unrelenting emergence of new models – furious and increasing continuously – makes planning and preparing for the future even more conflicted, confusing – and critical.

Because ‘new models’ means new methods of learning – the System is producing a mash-up of a MOOC and a scenario-based planning model to engage internal and external postsecondary education audiences in the rethinking of new higher education business models for public systems and institutions.
