Dr. Harry Pence' talk on the future of higher education...
In the new "bazaar", the rules and roles will be flexible, the best information will come from social networks, leadership is no longer based on hierarchy and there are little or no fixed reference points.
We are moving towards the age of improvisation.
We need new types of leadership.
Globalization is the emergent phenomenon (our students will have to compete with the world).
Traditional social compacts are vanishing
So...
Our students must be more flexible.
2002 National Research Council study, "Preparing for the Revolution":
...the impact of information technology on the university will likely be profound, rapid and discontinuous...
Clayton Christensen:
The Innovator's Dilemma
* disruptive technology requires new ways of working
* sustaining technologies improve the way we currently work
So far, most of our instructional technologies have been sustaining:
Course management systems, clickers, Powerpoint
Disruptive:
RSS, del.icio.us social bookmarking and Wikipedia
Knowledge is fluid
New report, "Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future": students are power browsers and are developing new ways of searching content and reading, which we don't fully understand yet.
Our students expect to participate in a personalized experience when dealing with a service provider (and this is how they think of their places of higher education).
What will the teacher of the future look like?
