Students expect flexible learning, industry expertise at future universities
A new survey from Laureate International University sheds light on what students expect the university of the future will look like. 20,800 students responded to the survey, representing 21 countries. 68% of respondents said that universities will offer free, online libraries; 59% said that they believe students will use social media to learn and teach other students. 52% expected courses to be offered at any time of day or night, while 44% said courses in the future would have no fixed schedule. Students also expected more industry involvement in PSE curricula: 61% said they foresee courses being designed by industry experts, and 44% expected future instructors to be “part-time industry experts instead of full-time instructors.” The survey also suggests that students expect further skills-focused training. Over 70% agreed that “career-oriented skills (not just subject matter) will be taught in future universities.” Campus Technology | Report Summary
