College (Un)bound – The Future of Higher Education and What it Means for Students

Jeffrey Selingo is editor at large of the Chronicle of Higher Education, so he has seen a thing or two about the US college and university system. When this was published – it was not new, but it is worth your time to read it – digital technologies were still being positioned as “poised to disrupt and transform”, something that is happening at the same pace as Brexit – slowly and painfully, especially in the US where enrolments are falling and higher education is in crisis. Our theme is innovations in teaching and learning and this is also Selingo’s theme – he is asking “what innovations are needed (urgently in his view) to ensure the survival of higher education?”. It will make you think.
