21st Century Trends for Higher Education
1. Students as Early Adopters: Adults ages 18–26 are typically the
first to adopt new technologies and their schools to have the infrastructure
to support the latest technologies.
2. Globalization: The demand for higher education globally has increased
and will continue to grow and universities are competing internationally for
resources, faculty, the best students, and education funding. Overseas
expansion creates opportunities for students and faculty in terms of exchange
programs and expanded campus environments.
3. Technical and information literacy:
Ongoing need to create a
campus culture that encourages faculty to use computers, smart devices, and
other innovative tools in their curricula. Students may be device-savvy, but
they may not necessarily be information-savvy.
Top 10 National Trends
in Higher Education (# 4 - 6)
4. Enrollment, retention, and branding:
Growing recognition
that the Internet is a viable way to market academic programs to prospective students
while enhancing the school’s brand. The presence of schools in virtual online
communities such as Second Life helps enhance the brand and YouTube’s education
channels and iTunes U are effective not only for teaching and learning, but also for
marketing a university’s strengths.
5. Mobility:
One-third of the 97 percent of college students who own a cell
phone no longer use land lines to make voice calls. Tasks range from administrative
(registration), to academic (downloading class materials), to social (instant messaging),
to functional (checking transportation schedules), to keeping track of ideas
(www.evernote.com).
6. Pedagogical centers and innovative campus
commons Creating social gathering, computer gaming areas, and collaborative
seating arrangements. Campus commons are evolving to become key locations where
technologies can be showcased and explored.
7. Evolution of teaching and learning: Ongoing evolution from oneto-one (teacher to student) to collaborative learning. Open source course-management
systems such as Moodle (http://moodle.org) and similar systems on Facebook are just
some applications being reconfigured to support more content and student Open-content
initiatives—such as OpenCourseWare from MIT, and the Research Impact Initiative and
open content website from UC Berkeley—continue to grow, along with book digitization
programs first initiated by Google.
8. Collaboration:
Universities are seeking new ways to facilitate collaboration to
enhance research, classes, foreign exchanges, alumni relationships, and private sector
partnerships. A variety of venues have emerged to make collaboration easier and more
accessible by using virtual meeting-place and application-sharing tools such as Cisco®
WebEx® TelePresence enables participants to conduct virtual meetings from nearly any
location worldwide, creating a sense of “being there in-person.” Virtual locations in Second
Life are creating alternative collaboration spaces, and emerging technologies are paving
the way to integrate, or blend, virtual and physical realities.
9. Strategic plans and technology: Budget and efficiency are ongoing
concerns in higher education. “Cloud computing”—a process that allows files and data to be
stored on a remote network using the Internet—is one approach that may potentially lower
certain costs (e.g. IT).
10. Edutainment:
Higher-education content and entertainment (edutainment) are
becoming more intertwined. Professors are now using iTunes & YouTube podcasts videos
that contain both educational and entertainment value. More than 120 schools have a
presence in Second Life, using these virtual spaces for socializing, teaching, learning, and
branding.

A significant push to expand access, by reducing academic
and non-academic barriers to entry.
Performance based outcome measures will increasingly be
used to gauge effectiveness/funding allocations.
Called to produce innovation in pedagogies, technologies,
and curricula (particularly in STEM).
http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/reports/final-report.pdf
USI is well positioned because of our niche as a
high-access, affordable institution.
We are continually improving quality, and are already
innovative in these areas.

CTL is a list of courses that will transfer among all Indiana public colleges &
universities.
Over 80 courses have been approved to come into USI—primarily core
courses or introductory courses. USI tends to be an “importer” of credits.
Growing numbers of students have at least some of their course work
completed elsewhere, which is significant for completion of the Core
curriculum.
Increase in the “swirl,” as students have coursework from multiple
institutions, transferring from place to place or taking simultaneous courses
from various universities.
CAP and early college courses further enhance/complicate the transfer
picture.
Over the next 5 years, USI will continue to grapple with the
changing nature of transfer students and how to best
serve them.
•National Trends
•USI Enrollment in Distance Education Courses
•USI Distance Education Offerings
•USI Degrees available primarily through distance education

Increased competition for online courses from for-profits
and certification entities (ex. University of Phoenix)

Software costs have skyrocketed resulting in increased
use of open-source alternatives for providing online
courses

Increased concerns regarding validity of student work in
online environments, resulting in new products and
services to verify student identity.

Develop of new technologies and techniques for teaching
applied courses such as chemistry labs, biology
