This monograph, which is well-written and clear, describes four future scenarios for the university of the future, including a virtual university and a different kind of university, which is called Disrupter University. The premise is clear: social and economic forces coupled with emerging technologies (especially AI) require universities to change both what they offer and how they operate – “business as usual” is not an option. While some may champion traditional approaches to teaching and learning (the champion university, other forms of provision will emerge which offer different approaches – hence the virtual university and the commercial university. The Disruptor University offers micro-credentials, personalized services and education as a service models for corporations – it emphasizes continuous learning rather than degrees and credentials. Written in Australia, the monograph is well worth reading for those interested in future focused planning.
