In this episode, host Kevin Benedict presents 16 different future scenarios for higher education and asks Dr. Paul J. Bailo if they are possible, plausible, impossible or implausible. Join us for some deep thinking, insight, laughter, and a look into the future.
Q&A:
Q1. The traditional university experience… will be increasingly dis-intermediated from the university campus and digitized.

A2: 4:00
Q3. Large, required courses and courses with lecture formats will increasingly be offered in digital formats only. Professors that teach upper-level in-person courses will become high-value mentors.
A3: 5:11
Q4. Degrees will evolve to being like a playlist of songs – where catalogs of approved courses - from a variety of producers - can be selected to fulfill degree requirements. Assessing, testing and mentoring will all be available online (aka metaverse).

Q8. AI/Digital Assistants and their platforms will be assigned to each student to monitor progress, provide remedial help and teaching for the purpose of increasing success, higher scores, and improved graduation rates.
A8: 11:33

Q10. Universities will increasingly become digital content studios – competing on content, entertainment and providing the best digital experiences anywhere on the METAVERSE.
A10: 14:50
Q11. University content studios will require new roles, new talent, new skills, new equipment - educational technologists, new course designers, animators, storytellers, course designers.
A11: 17:07
Q12. For-profit online-only universities will emerge that will bundle courses into degree programs, and license all the content from a variety of Rockstar professors that offer their content for licensing on online educational marketplaces. These degrees can be bundled and priced with or without “experience and travel packages” provided by third parties.
A12: 18:22
Q13. Blockchain/digital ledger technologies will ensure a permanent and assessable record of courses taken, certificates earned, enrolled students, test scores and course completions.
A13: 20:12
