The Campus of the Future: Hybrid and Lean<\/strong><\/a> — from edcetera.rafter.com by Kirsten Winkler<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

When people imagine the campus of the future, two main ideas seem to come up. On the one hand, the campus experience will be blended or hybrid, meaning that even with the majority of learning taking place online, there will still be demand for activities in a classic brick-and-mortar setting. On the other hand, the campus of the future will be more like a technology startup, focused on cutting expenses and running a lean operation.<\/p>\n

Three recent articles in Education DIVE, The Times Higher Education, Slate and Inc. underline this trend.<\/p>\n

Internet mentors could supplant traditional lecturers<\/strong> <\/a>— from timeshighereducation.co.uk by Jack Grove
\nHorizon Scanning study points to a \u2018new kind of pedagogy\u2019 in higher education by 2020<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Traditional lecturers may soon be replaced by networks of online mentors working for several universities, a new study predicts.<\/p>\n

In the report, titled Horizon Scanning: What will higher education look like in 2020?<\/em>, the Observatory on Borderless Education suggests that academic staff are likely to be employed part-time by several universities \u2013 often working remotely via the internet \u2013 rather than relying on a single employer.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

With one undergraduate module, Forms of Identity, already taught via video conferencing to students at both institutions, the alliance \u201cmay be pointing the way to a new kind of pedagogy\u201d, the report says.<\/p>\n

\u201cUndergraduate lectures, for example, may be delivered simultaneously to any number of participating institutions, either across a whole sector or indeed across borders,\u201d it states.<\/p>\n

\n With adjunct faculty members playing a significant role at many institutions of higher education, I could see a scenario like this occurring.\u00a0 In fact, even years ago I knew an adjunct faculty member who sat behind her PC all day, servicing students at multiple<\/em> universities.\u00a0 I’m sure that this is not a rare occurrence.\u00a0 Plus, we are already above 30% of the workforce working in a freelance mode, with estimations of this going to<\/span> 40% or more by 2020. <\/a><\/p>\n
