What Follows Thinkpads For All? Maintaining the Advantage A Keynote Lecture-Discussion Led by David G. Brown, Vice President and Dean (ICCEL) Wake Forest University at Think Tank 2000, Montreal, June 5, 2000

What’s Next? the vision OK. We’ve done it! All students have Thinkpads. So… What’s next? What specific actions should we be taking now in order to maintain our advantage? What actions are you (and your institution) planning? WRITE IT DOWN! (You’ll need it later.)

An Environmental Scan (2020) New Student Mentality New Faculty Roles New Professoriate New Curriculum New University

New “Student” Mentality Nintendo Problem Solving Immediacy Multi-Tasking & Channel Changing Keyboarding; Not Handwriting Always In Touch Interactivity Open Information (visible backyard) Shared Authority & Second Opinions

New Faculty Roles Less Content Transmission: More Access & Evaluation Strategy + Applications (Practice) Certifying & Sequencing Learning Strategy Forming & Monitoring Learning Groups Less Control (More Textbook-like Supplements, Alternate Authorities, Less Standardization, Competitive Options) Open for Inspection Continuous Interaction (Never Ending) Collaborative Teaching (with content specialists, designers, students)

The New Professoriate Team Research--science methods spread Electronic Publications--most rigorous format Paper Archiving--most enduring format Collaborative Teaching--design teams & confederations Adjunct Faculty--alumni & practitioners Institutes & Centers--departments & disciplines recede

The New Curriculum The Rule--not all F2F or Virtual On Campus Distance Learning--3 in residence, 2 by distance Intimate F2F Classes--greater variability Customized Textbooks--from many vendors Learning Cohorts & Communities--essential for motivation Lifelong Programming-- , portals, tech support Continuous Communication--before & after degrees The Student-Designed Degree--learning objectives & styles The Math Emporium Model--one of the new models

The New University Bricks and Mortar Stay--including health clubs Brokers Emerge--the most common function Entrepreneurship Thrives--focus required Libraries Become Resource Centers--help Confederations Flourish--mergers too International Alliances Multiply--not only distance ed Schedules Metabolize Around Commencement Outsourcing Expands--services and courses Funding Diversifies--mix public and entrepreneurial Databases Center Around the Student--my.yahoo

Act Now (Technology) -Pass Faculty Motion That All Teaching May Proceed on the Assumption That All Students Have Internet Access -Assure Robust Communication Networks -Aim for 95% of Faculty Use of CEL by Voluntary Means -Adopt & Support a “Preferred” Laptop, CMS, & Software -Budget for Electronic Databases -Outsource More Bureaucracy & Instructional Components

Act Now (Your Turn) What’s Next? --Identify logical next steps for your own institution. --Merge your list from before with your current ideas. --From your list, select the “next step” that will most enlighten decisions in another college or university. --Find a buddy sitting nearby (preferably from another college) --Coach your buddy on how to present your “best next step” to the larger group. Be prepared to make presentation: Cite a “bullet” with 8 or fewer words to summarize the point. --Be coached by your buddy re his/her “best next step.”

Act Now (Vision) -Build Brand Identity -Build “Communities of Learners” & Link All Programs to Participation in and Access to Those Communities -Expand and Enrich Co-Curricular Programs -Choose & Nurture A Few Areas For Worldwide Prominence -Maintain Aura of Impartiality & Rationality -Rejoice in the Flexibility & Survivability of Universities

History Lesson Universities Adapt! 67/74 oldest institutions are universities!
