Interesante reporte elaborado por la consultora Arup Foresight, Research and Innovation, sobre lo que sería el Campus Educativo del Futuro. Vale la pena revisarlo. Es interesante ver las coincidencias sobre la visión de futuro de un campus universitario con los desarrollos de infraestructura que se han venido implementando en la PUCP en los últimos ocho años.

"Everyone of us can remember a really positive first impression that we have had of someone as well as a really negative or bad first impression that we have had of someone. What made it so positive? What made it so negative? First impressions matter, a lot, yet it is so easy to lose sight of how important our actions are right from the start with those we lead and interact with daily."

We’re tracking the ongoing consolidation across higher education in the U.S. and examining what the trend means for the industry.
Dennis Swender's insight:
"Data from the National Center for Education Statistics show that more than 100 for-profit colleges closed between the 2016-17 and 2017-18 academic years alone, while 20 nonprofit colleges shuttered during that period. And although the number of credentials issued increased 1.2% from 2012-13 to 2016-17, for-profits offered nearly 30% fewer than nonprofits.

In this article I explore the educational equity implications of three popular ideological positions that drive teachers’ and teacher educators’ understandings of, and responses to, poverty and economic injustice in schools: deficit ideology, grit
Dennis Swender's insight:
Internationally acclaimed multicultural authority Paul Gorski contends that students have been “socialized to fundamentally misunderstand poverty and its impact on educational outcome disparities. As a result, despite good intentions, the strategies they [are] capable of imagining – trendy instructional interventions, the cultivation of grit in students experiencing poverty, programs designed to encourage higher levels of parent involvement by economically [marginalized] families – [sidestep] completely the causes of the disparities they [are] desperate to redress. The trouble [is] not dispositional or practical. Instead it [is] ideological, borne of faulty belief systems that, if not reshaped, [will] undermine their potentials to be the equitable teachers they [hope] to be.”

The basic cause of America’s student-loan crisis is no mystery: College tuition and fees continue to soar while the earnings of recent graduates remain flat. It shouldn’t be surprising that there’s also a straightforward way to lower the cost of a college degree: Reduce the amount of time it takes to earn one. Via Edumorfosis
