Abstract

Purpose – This paper aims to assist lecturers, universities and their administrators in preparing for the evolving future of higher education. Disruptive innovations in higher education delivery, with the internet as a driver, are creating potential benefits and challenges for traditional service providers. This paper will reflect on how academics should evolve, in the age of the internet, and maximize the benefits of all stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach – This opinion piece emerged after reviewing the latest research and best practices which can improve higher education delivery. Findings – Significant benefits and opportunities can be unlocked if educators apply and incorporate new learning styles and practices. While the pace and momentum is uncertain, this paper re-confirms that disruptive technologies will lead to inevitable changes in higher education. Technology and knowledge have become more accessible and transferable irrespective of location. It is therefore imperative that educational stakeholders seize the opportunity to adjust their methodology and delivery approaches to remain relevant and maintain their value proposition. Originality/value – Educators should rethink how they deliver education, as the traditional model evolves. This paper offers a proposal to navigate the challenges ahead.
