ENABLING WORLDWIDE LEARNING – THE “MULTI-VERSITY” — <\/strong>from Changing the Education Equation (part 3) – My Reflections on the 2010 HP Innovation in Education Worldwide Summit<\/a><\/p>\n

This hybrid and distributed approach we used in our summit has wonderful (and challenging!) implications for how we think about “the learning institution” (universities, colleges, school systems), and there are many institutions already seeing the “disruption” at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Ray Schroeder, one of our presenters on the panel, “Learning without Limits…” sent me a post-summit email in which he shared one example of the changing education institution, which he calls the “Multi-versity”:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“…following on Michael Horn’s predictions that community colleges and online universities are the delivery platforms in higher education today and tomorrow, [I believe] that the “day-after-tomorrow<\/em>” will be the advent of the multi-versity. <\/em>That is, colleges and universities collaborating in offering a vast range of interconnected classes from which students will select to fulfill\u00a0degree requirements that allow for nearly unlimited emphases and specializations.<\/span><\/strong> The motivation for these multi-versity collaborations will be both push and pull – the economy is pushing higher education to become more efficient through sharing resources and the students are pulling universities to be more responsive to their individual needs for access to a wide range of classes.\u00a0 This, I believe is the true potential of [Google] Wave as a Web 2.0 platform, to enable and facilitate inter-institutional class collaborations that provide a diversity of perspectives and a rich breadth of information sharing.”<\/span> <\/span><\/strong> (emphasis DSC)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

From DSC:
\nI don’t mention this to support or plug Google Wave. Rather, I mention it because the idea of a multi-versity is a model that could easily happen (and, in fact, is already occurring to some degree<\/a>).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
