The Edgeless University: why higher education must embrace technology #edge09

Jun 23

written by: James Burke
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 

A Demos report funded by the JISC that looks at how technology is changing Universities as they become just one source among many for ideas, knowledge and innovation.

A Demos report funded by the JISC that looks at how “technology is changing Universities as they become just one source among many for ideas, knowledge and innovation.” – see #edge09

The report argues that technology in higher education is not just about virtual learning environments, but is increasingly central to the way higher education institutions provide learning and facilitate research. Technology has made research and learning possible in new places, often outside of institutions. Far from undermining them, this is creating exciting opportunities for universities to demonstrate and capitalise on their value. Taking advantage of these opportunities will take strategic leadership from inside institutions, new connections with a growing world of informal learning, and a commitment to openness and collaboration. Only by adapting can universities continue to meet the vital public policy aim of creating more access to higher education. This is the role of 'The Edgeless University'. – The Edgeless University: A Demos launch

The report is available as a PDF and here as a Scribd version.

That's great, I never thought about higher education must embrace technology like that before.
