Trend: Campuses moving from online to On-Demand<\/strong><\/a> — from ecampusnews.com by Meris Stansbury
\nManagement expert discusses why the future for college campuses is on-demand, not just online<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

IT experts are calling it a super storm of forces that\u2019s changing the way a campus ecosystem operates.<\/p>\n

First, the very foundation of student expectations<\/span> <\/strong>is changing, with requirements for education delivery models that are more flexible and accessible than those of generations past.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Second, the higher-ed market\u2014thanks to the economy and possibilities available via technology\u2014is reshaping itself under new requirements for competition, delivery, funding, and outcomes.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s this super storm, say experts, that\u2019s creating the need for new business processes and strategies to better compete and retain students.<\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\n I don’t have data to back this up, but I also have it that student expectations<\/strong> are<\/em> changing. (It would be great if someone out there who has some resources in this regard would post some links to such resources in the comments section.)<\/em>\u00a0 Anecdotally, the students’ expectations of today are different from when I attended college years ago. We didn’t have the Internet back then; we didn’t have personal computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops; we didn’t work collaboratively; there were no online-based courses; we didn’t have nearly as many choices for learning at our disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n

But taking cues from society at large and from the trends in computing, people want to connect and they want to do so on their<\/em> terms — i.e., when it fits into their<\/em> schedules. So I can see this sort of phenomenon picking up steam, at least for a significant subset of learners out there. In fact, it’s an underlying assumption I have in my Learning from the Living [Class] Room<\/em><\/a> vision. Many of us will seek out training\/education-on-demand types of resources throughout our careers — as we need them. Heutagogy, lifelong learning, and rhizomatic learning <\/a>come to mind; so does the growth of Lynda.com and the growth of bootcamps\/accelerated learning programs (such as flatironschool.com<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the concept of “learning hubs” is interesting in this regard, whereby a group of learners get together in a physical setting, but tap into online-based resources to help them learn about a topic\/discipline.\u00a0 Those online-based resources could be synchronous or asynchronous. But learners come together when it works into their<\/em> schedules.
