Issues for the future University Two semester format Library of the future Tuition : higher or cheaper. Return on investment for students. Will universities become more accessible to poorer students? Teleconferencing and distance learning Technology-mediated education: will teacher/student relationships occur almost purely through technology

Is the university model that’s been in place for centuries will continue to exist with a sprinkle of technology integration? How technology-mediated education would affect student engagement if the traditional physical campus disappears? Student-Student relations are important in learning. Will Technology become just a tool in professors’ toolboxes? Will we apply knowledge rather than capture knowledge? Project oriented learning.

What about open online courses that are available to anyone, with unlimited space and no charge! Will Students complete all of their learning at one institution? We have mobile universities building branches overseas and also mobile students travelling all over the world for degrees and training.

FOREIGN STUDENTS GLOBALLY It is estimated that 5 million students studied outside of their home countries 2014 This represents more than a tripling of global international student enrolment since 1990 Demand from Asia has driven most of this growth, but we also now see a number of important emerging markets that will influence global mobility in the future The nature of competition is shifting, with enrolment more widely distributed among a larger field of destinations, including a growing number of non-English-speaking countries Market forecasts anticipate greater demand for post-graduate and vocational training programs going forward

China, India, and South Korea are the world’s leading sources of international students

One of every 6 internationally mobile students is now from China, and together China, India, and South Korea account for more than a quarter of all students studying outside their home countries. All told, 53% of all students studying abroad today are from Asia.

Demographic trends, economic growth, government scholarships, and rising incomes are some of the major forces at play in determining where students are coming from when they study abroad. 

Most students who choose to study abroad choose OECD countries as their destinations. But as linkages and trade intensify between Western economies and Asian ones, and as Asian countries expand and improve their higher education systems, we will likely see mobility patterns become more diverse over the next decade. Top American and British institutions still attract the majority of the world’s most ambitious and/or wealthy students, but Asian countries are climbing steadily up world university rankings.

How would you evaluate universities in in the future Now: by inputs like the size of the university library or the amount universities spend Tomorrow: outputs, which include student learning, student success in the labor market and graduation rates

What will happen to the oldest universities in the world if they dont adapt? 1. University of Al-Karaouine: Fes, Morocco, founded in 859 2. Al-Azhar University: the world’s second oldest surviving degree-granting institute, Founded in 970-972
