| From soaring costs to declining graduation rates and increasing competition, it is no longer business as usual in higher education. While the challenges have never been greater, neither have the opportunities to improve the relevancy, quality and accessibility of higher education. From e-recruitment, e-classes and e-books to open-source curricula and global universities, technology is changing what it means to go to college. HigherEdTECH brings you the people who are leading this change, the most promising innovations and the latest thinking about 21st century education at the epicenter of new technology. | ||

The Imperative to Redesign Higher Education
|
For the United States to maintain a viable role in the world economy and address the growing income inequity, higher education must meet its responsibility to dramatically increase U.S postsecondary attainment. To do so will require redesigning the system with a focus on students, learning, technology, and outcomes. Dr Applegate will describe the challenge we face and suggest the principles that should guide the redesign of American higher education to meet this challenge. | |
