Description
This book is for professors, administrators, government officials, and every part of global society that has a stake in higher education or the problems faced by humanity today. It is also for students, their families, and communities who want a different performance from institutions of higher education. Its purpose is to start, stimulate, and encourage a dialogue about higher education and the way it is experienced today. We have attempted to do more than give some absolute model, wanting to provide mechanisms for ongoing dialogue-based transformation. The dialogue begins with the offering of a model of the way higher education could be reinvented. This model is built on certain assumptions about learning, work, and the environment and purpose of higher education. Within these parameters, it is acknowledged that this model is only one out of a possible hundred different ways to get to the same place.
