So last centuryBy Cathy N. Davidson28 April 2011

About 100 years ago, higher education restructured to meet the needs of the industrial age.

It has changed little since, even as the internet has transformed life.

Another revolution is needed, says Cathy Davidson, to modernise universities and prepare graduates for a 21st-century working environment . . . .Cathy N. Davidson is the

Ruth F. DeVarney professor of English and John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute professor of interdisciplinary studies at Duke University in the US. Source: http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?

"The history of 20th-century higher education has been the history of assessing individual achievement, measuring, certifying and quantifying outcomes and outputs."

"....new sorting and attentional skills, collaborative skills, judgement and logical skills, synthesising and analytical abilities, critical and creative skills, qualitative and quantitative skills, all together, with few

lines between them.

These are sometimes called "21st-century literacies", a range of new

interpersonal, synthesising, organising and communication skills that companies

insist today's graduates lack."

While industries such as music,

newspapers, film and publishing have seen radical changes in their business models and practices as a direct result of new technologies, higher education has so far resisted the wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere.

However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies.

This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.

We live in a time of vast changes. And those

changes call for entirely new ways of learning and thinking.

World-renowned for his theory of multiple intelligences, Gardner takes that thinking to the next level in this book, drawing from a wealth of diverse examples to illuminate his ideas.

Concise and engaging, Five Minds for the

Future will inspire lifelong learning in any reader as well as provide valuable insights for those charged with training and developing organizational leaders-both today and tomorrow.

Drawing on ten years of research into educational innovation and socio-technical change . . . this book questions taken-for-granted assumptions about the future of education . . . . Keri Facer makes a case for recognising

the challenges that the next two decades may bring, including:　• The emergence of new relationships between humans

and technology• The opportunities and challenges of aging populations• The development of new forms of knowledge and

democracy• The challenges of climate warming and environmental

disruption• The potential for radical economic and social inequalities　This book describes the potential for these developments to impact critical aspects of education – including adult-child

relationships, social justice, curriculum design,

community relationships and learning ecologies.

Teachers in higher education have had to become more professional in their approach to teaching, matching their professionalism in research . . . .

The strength of this book is that it provides a sound theoretical basis for designing and using learning technologies in university teaching.
