The Future of Higher Education in a Digital Age
If the student voice has so much power, as I keep reading that it does (when it comes to module feedback, learning resource development, pricing, etc.) then it stands to reason that the voice of students yet to reach Higher Education also have a voice that should be heard?
This is a great video, students and staff alike, saying what their ‘digital age’ education should be … note the accessible, flexible, personal, social, and collaborative attitudes these students ‘want’ from their learning. Yes, they’re talking about what HE should be in the future, but it’s grounded in their understanding in what is currently available, and possibly what they wish they had already?
“I see technology as the accelerator, the expander, the multiplier.”

Thanks to Anne Hole for sharing this on G+ earlier today.
Great video! I also agree that technology will accelerate learning and make it easier, not only for students, but also for new employees in training as well. They have to learn about the new job, so also using technology to help them with their training is very beneficial.

I am presently undergoing distance education for home inspection courses from Freedom Business school in California. I find it difficult to handle my son’s doubts along with my classes. Thanks to the advancing digital age technologies that helped me get rid of some of my concerns. Thanks for sharing, that video was really helpful!
