A Model for Lifelong Learning

Abstract

The higher education industry is in a state of significant transformation. The learners institutions serve are evolving, demanding new kinds of offerings and credentials that drive direct and clear outcomes. Unfortunately, the policies, processes, and partnerships that structure modern higher education institutions are still designed for a traditional model that no longer serves most prospective learners. This chapter—authored by The EvoLLLution's Editor-in-Chief—will highlight insights from higher education leaders across North America to frame a new model for higher education, designed to serve a next normal defined by lifelong learning. It will highlight opportunities for growth, identify challenges with the status quo, and provide suggestions for higher education leaders looking to form partnerships to explore these new options.
