Future-Proofing the University: Innovations in Learning, Technology, and Finances in the Age of AI

By: Penprase, Bryan Edward

Future-Proofing the University explores the most promising examples of system-level change and reinvention by way of firsthand research into top higher education institutions globally.

Whether a ranking R1 or a smaller liberal arts institution, every college and university has the potential to achieve business sustainability and high-quality learning for today's ever-growing student populations. These inspiring and replicable narratives have been sourced from real-world transformative efforts of dynamic leadership, expanded campus operations, and novel technology initiatives--both on campus and online. The book includes strategies for managing endowment distribution across departments, encouraging social mobility through experiential learning, integrating design thinking into curricula to reach under-served students, balancing synchronous, asynchronous, and AI-mediated learning technologies for greater efficiency and much more.

Higher education leaders and administrators will come away with concrete ideas for innovations in curricula and environments, enhancements to teaching practices, and more optimal integration between digital and in-person learning.
