Radical Reforms for the Campus of the Future
Session 2. Radical Reforms for the Campus of the Future
Wednesday, June 8th, 11:00 – 12:30 Hong Kong Time (UTC+8)
Description
A net-zero campus in 2050 probably does not resemble our campuses of today. In fact, some suggest that even four-year undergraduate degrees may soon be obsolete as the emphasis shifts to life-long learning models and personalized student training. This means that the combination of net-zero pressures and the restructuring of teaching and learning models will fundamentally transform campuses that are ready (and punish those that are not). In this session, we will anticipate radical changes we might see in the coming decades and explore ways to get ahead of the curve for a soft (and sustainable) landing.
