 We have a renowned guest speaker here with us Dr. Brian Alexander who's going to be talking about technology futures I'm sure you guys will be interested in hear what he has to say And we have representatives from Microsoft and Apple here as well Google supposed to be here. They're not here So we're going to have Russell postman talk a little bit about some cool technology stuff that he has that he's going to He's going to display for us So talk a little bit about the agenda so from we're going to have Dr. Alexander speak first then Microsoft then Russell Russell will speak we have lunch in upper commons. We do have some lunch vouchers. So when you When you leave here for lunch around 12 we give you a voucher you can go up to the upper commons And eat and then come back on us You see so I like to introduce our co-sponsors That is Rush Boseman institutional support Instructional support director as well as director of cyber security Doug White as well, and I like them to feel free to take some words if they like to Thank you for coming so with that being said Russell want to introduce our guest speaker. Thank you We go. So thank you all for coming. I should feel So I'm here to introduce I'm here to introduce Dr. Brian Alexander who I actually met through Linda Bieth at one of the conferences went to and I was Immediately taken aback and drawn into to his amazing mind and how it works as relates to technology and and science and science fiction Dr. Alexander is an internationally known futurist researcher writer and speaker Consultant and teacher as well working in the field of how technology transforms education He completed his English language and literature PhD at the University of Michigan in 1997 With a dissertation on doppelgangers my favorite word in romantic era fiction and poetry Brian taught literature writing multimedia and information technology At Centauri College of Louisiana Centauri There he also pioneered multi-campus interdisciplinary classes while organizing an information literacy initiative from 2002 to 2014 Brian worked with the National Institute for Technology in liberal education nightly a Non-profit working to help small colleges and universities best integrate digital technologies With nightly he held several roles including co-director of a regional education and technology Center Director of emerging technologies and senior fellow Over those years Brian helped develop and support the non-profit group here peer networks consulted and conducted a sustained research agenda in 2013 Brian launched a business Brian Alexander LLC through BAC He consults through higher education in the United States and abroad Brian also speaks widely and publishes frequently with articles appearing in venues including the Atlantic Monthly inside higher ed And so on he has been interviewed by and featured in MSNBC U.S. News and World Report National Public Radio the Chronicle of higher ed Q research campus tech and connected learning Alliance. He is currently writing Transforming the University in the 21st century the next generation of higher education for Johns Hopkins University Press His two most recent books are gearing up for learning beyond K-12 and the new digital storytelling Second edition. Please join me as we welcome Dr. Alexander Thank you very much. I feel like I have to say ladies and gentlemen of the jury Thank you very much for that really kind introduction. I wish I could be dressed as stylishly as you And thank you all for being here. I lived in Vermont. So it was really a pleasure to go to the warm sunny south Thank you for for giving me that change. I really appreciate it. Can you all hear me? Okay? There are all kinds of things that I want to talk about and all kinds of yes, please Yeah, it's giving me some fun feedback. Yeah There's no use in having a presentation unless you break technology right away. I Gave a talk once at a big conference in Oregon and the first thing I did was plug in my laptop into the And it flashed onto the screen in front of a thousand people the blue screen of death Right away. That was a PC. So I appreciate this About a third of the audience were Mac people and they're like ha ha ha and then the rest of the rest of the same thing Well, how can this be? How can this be? I went to the campus almost to the conference center hotel desk and said what's wrong? What's wrong? They said, oh, yeah, this happens. We're just used to it Okay, don't note to self do not come back here again Now What I'd like to do is Unfortunately show you a bunch of PowerPoint slides If I tell people I'm not going to use PowerPoint They often stand and applaud tears in their eyes because we all hate PowerPoint What's curious about it is we also all love We teach it in elementary school. We use it in every program on earth. It's one that has no real replacement We've invented dozens and dozens of technologies to go beyond it. So you may have used Prezi I'm using Keynotes It's interesting the 1980s technology that we just can't go past So when you think about the future you think about emerging technologies important remember that the old tends to stay on But in case you're wondering my background is why we speaking to you for the next hour We just mentioned a few different things First I created what's called the observatory for future of education. This is a multi-media Social a public the crowdsourced event where we take a look at future of education technology includes a few different pieces One of them is a monthly trend analysis This is a look at current events from the previous month everything in it documented footnoted extensively Played against a map about 86 trends We've been tracking these for about six years and these trends Anybody who reads this such text you should just be shot Just one quick general shape here. We have a bunch of trends what we call education in context So that's education itself education reform tenure that kind of thing as well Economics or demographics that we take a look at technology as it As you can see from that column Then we take a look at the intersection and we combine all of these I'm gonna be showing you Because of what you're doing with your strategic planning process, I'm going to emphasize technology If you'd like to learn more about this is going to FTPP that you ask you can find on the back Reports it's a it's a fascinating fascinating thing to do. Nobody else is doing this level That's a publication that's pushed out. We also do a weekly video conference discussion that is unique I grabbed some brilliant person some great thinker or practitioner everything from college presidents the occasional provost faculty start-up leaders Critics journalists scholars technology and we talk for an hour. No PowerPoint allowed We just have about 100 people having a conversation around the world and we archive a whole thing to you We're doing for two years. You have a hundred different YouTube recordings. It's like nothing else It's not a webinar because people actually talk and they communicate Which is kind of shot Now I can talk some more about other publications if you get the idea Now as we go by the way, I Like to reserve time for questions at the end, of course But if you have comments or questions in the meantime, please don't be shy And if I go over something too quickly or if I say something that sounds like a lost page from a doctor's Something please stop me just shout or throw something I want to show that no one gets left behind So to begin with we can be a little contextual things just keep in mind when you think about technology And when you think about technology, we can drill down pretty far. We can make jokes about macros to PC We can talk about metadata. We can talk about programming languages But all this happens in a series of overlapping Context that really changed this so the first one I want to mention is Democratic this is to a degree I Would think obvious and well-known, but it's not really and there's a lot of recent research in this I want to pull your attention to so one is in the u.s. We're seeing this fascinating development Or our youth population generally speaking the shrinking both the relative absolute terms and our senior population is growing Which is a fantastic fantastic thing. It's a great trying for civilization The only way we can do this is because of the developments in public health in medical technology in our knowledge of nutrition I mean, it's a fantastic achievement It's not the way we've normally lived This is what human history looked like until around 1950 This is the parts of the world still look like this is a demographic analysis of Nigeria Sliced by age group and you can see that each slice is about four or five years So the very very bottom of this cake you have a zero to four then five to nine ten to fourteen And you can see from the shape the humans are fantastic at spamming the environment with babies and Then what how do you sense it and year by year we have And this shape helps explain a lot of things for example the structure confusion is mini-stacia elders in Africa and Upset down Japan has a small number of kids a large number of middle-aged people and a largest film of his teams And because the nature demographics and because Japan is pretty a pretty resistant to immigration This is me accelerate this pyramid will get sharp or make a mangle of it It's not just Japan. You can see this in many other countries as well Germany much more than Europe and big chunks in the US. I come from for months Again, this is a mini ways of a try and you help play a role in making this happen Which we know statistically from around the world the more education women get the fewer kids They have and or later in life. So you help transfer us into this US itself we look more like this You can see baby boomers get their own special color. Why American culture? But also, this is unusual for us I call this the refrigerator diagram because you know it looks like a refrigerator, but this is strange for American history We think of ourselves in youthful nation. We pride ourselves our youth culture and yet we're heading this way if Immigration Began us to cut down. We might start looking more like a Japanese And this has powerful implications for everything And you all know and you all seems in different ways because education you have to think about the way that in any senses This is kind of the model we have for the traditional age undergrad This is the thinking we have for a k through 12, but instead We have what may be a best lifelong learning and worse the real crisis for education a little bit Sorry Clicker value control So demographics, that's one thing that shape us and again you want to think too It's easy to have cliches about 18 year old with kids and 65 year olds. You can't use technology Generally speaking though the younger you are in America the more technology you use the older you are the less technology Generally speaking, there's only one major exception to this that I thought Which technology may ask you is primarily used by middle-aged and older people Think right now. That's the universal contagion Basically we might be headed that way it depends but it's linkedin If you're 14, why would you use linkedin? There's no point You see podcasts is another one, but Here's the second contextual force. I want you to think about Which is what happened the economic inequality? This is really really interesting because this happened in our life This is drawn from the work of many old sayes and some spaghetti and there are many many shots to make it Just to look at it very carefully for a second vertical axis Measure inequality so the higher the vertical axis the more unequal So if you were at you know a hundred percent you'd have Bill Gates and much of business The horizontal axis represents time I don't know if you can make up the complete date to get the sense of the curve. A very far left edge. Say 1910 We were pretty good at inequality. We were pretty uneven and by we this is the US But also if you're from our country is Canada, Australia and the UK Then if around 1915 to 1950 that inequality was coming, you see okay, I really like standing here And you're craning your neck over it And we dropped We became less unequal became more equal and the reasons are kind of obvious We had two spectacular world wars that demolished a whole bunch of wealth Let's talk about Steven Pinker arguments over that that's one reason we had the Great Depression Which was global and impact that we had a whole bunch of social policies that really redesigned how we Process wealth thinking the US about the New Deal for example And then something really strange happens around 1950 to about 1980 we were the least unequal we've ever been It's extraordinary some economists call this the Great Compression Quite a bit of American culture from that period and then around 1980 that reversed and you can see They quality taking off and right now we're circa 1915 levels I sometimes call this the Great Gatsby curve I used to call it the Downs and Abbey curve people go. Oh wonderful great clothing. No It means you're the hell no one likes it so much that but But this is crucial for our time for a few reasons one is that during the Great Compression period That's what we rebuilt higher ed That's when the federal government got itself into financial aid. That's when we boosted Enormously the community college system. That's we grew out state systems That was when we decided that higher education should be for pretty much everybody That's not our time now and one of the reasons why you see higher creaking in the wind and stressing and fumbling and breaking It's because it's the wrong era the second you want to think about is Your students are going into that world Into the world escalating inequality and so far nothing is slowing that escalation back In fact some historians have been arguing that this compression in the middle is a historical blip anomaly Enabration that the real historical current is worried and now we think about your students Are you preparing them for a middle class that is arguably dwindling? Are you preparing them for the elite and economic terms? What's the function of higher education in this different world? These are painful questions that we have to ask Along with that what it means to work has changed in some ways One is some of you might remember in the 1990s this big push that we're going to transfer the American workplace Manufacturing to the creative economy to the information economy We're very excited by that and half of that came true. We pulled out a lot of people from manufacturing Yes, but we didn't put many people into the creative information economy We put a lot of money into that but we employed relatively a few people Most people now in the u.s. Work in the service sector which pays less and is not as unionized and so That's one big change in labor a second. I Like to show my children Classical films just to see how they respond So I showed them the great satire network and they didn't think it was funny Because that's what TV news is like now that was kind of depressing I showed them mad men and for them it's like watching Lord of the Rings because it's a completely alien world They have no idea and one of those alien nations comes from the fact of this idea that you have one job one career One employer for life They find that hilarious Because now we live in what we call the gay economy where we have multiple jobs multiple careers multiple employers often overlap We call the gay economy in Australia. They call this the American economy just so you know That has huge implications or higher education We're just really starting to get our crews around this If you think about somebody goes to undergrad that goes to grad school maybe to get their degree in a specific field They go to work Law school right as a classic legal patterns as a career shift. That's decreasing We really take lifelong Super quick points. We'll talk about technology Unemployment is pretty low right now, which is a good thing Participation is also which is not expensive that is people who could work who could try to work Who are move themselves from labor force and this is increasing partly because we have an aging population We've more people staying home to care for elderly relatives Partly because of the growing opioid crisis and partly we don't know why that participation rate has been declining for years And that changes us last point Automation don't know how automation is going to affect work for about a hundred and fifty years whenever we invented something new We replaced it or that replaced something old and it was a painful process But we grew something larger So you think about the horse and buggy when we went to the car it was bad news for horse and buggy But we now have Detroit that used to be a good thing to say, you know, we grew a huge industry, right? or you think about Did you guys ship ice in the 19th century from here? Were you part of that economy? Do you know? Yeah, we were the iceman there are people who would cut ice from our live they ship it south to South Carolina Right, we've been refrigeration bad news for the ice industry, but we grew something larger Depending on the stats you read that process that growth process Seems to have paused around 1995 a lot of the digital technologies that we create don't employ a lot of people Some of you may remember when Kodak went under in Rochester, New York They employed tens of thousands of people that same week Instagram which helped destroy them Employed about 250 We don't know yet, but it's possible we'll be heading to a world of widespread Your students change as a result of all this I think a lot of this you know about more and more first-generation students More students who have military experience more students with learning disabilities. Why we're not fully sure why and we have more and more adult learners I know that's a key part of What you do at RWU? We'll see more of that last part. Let's talk about technology Over the past generation or two we have in many ways Transform how we pay for higher education a quick show of hands. How many of you are still paying off student loans? Keep those hands up Those of you who don't have your hands up just look around and look at the number. I'm gonna guess it's about 40% of this room Think about that. We haven't done this before in history. This is a new thing in the US We used to have relatively low cost generally speaking relatively lower costs And we have to have a healthy state support for public higher education We have removed that right now and we have instead financialized how we pay for higher education Current amount student debt is closing at a 1.4 trillion dollars It does sound like a little money. All of those are contexts for shaping when you decide to put a mobile device in your classroom or To use a new digital repository or when you think about what your students use when they go home at night for technology to access your classes Let's think about technology for a second. This is one of my favorite photos. It's called tabloid and tablet Just a very nice combination to have Here are a few of the technologies that are obviously huge and we could talk about this technology by itself Well, I reckon going to the classroom for the next what three weeks just non-stop because there's so much going on Let me just mention a few of the huge developments that simply have happened and continue to grow. One is mobile Quick show hands. How many of your iPhone users? How many of your Android users? This is always happens always happens you say who's an iPhone user Android is the biggest worldwide it has the biggest market share It's the biggest operating system in the world Fastening doesn't happen But mobile is obviously enormous mobile has changed lots of stuff and if you're in the US You don't really grasp how much the changes happened. The US came very very late to mobile devices We're still behind many ways to go to the rest of the world. They've been talking about mobile learning since the 1990s Mobile is in many many ways the most powerful technology we have the second thing to think about social media Which we will pretty soon stop calling social media is called media because if it's not social It's unusual we'll call it say library catalogs or the LMS because so much of the world is social right now We complain that Facebook might be losing people I would love to have two billion users and have that kind of problem of you're losing a few thousand here and there We thought was radical hip shocking exciting dangerous, and then we just moved there So it's it's kind of a historical artifact at this point We might a call it cloud computing if you store all their photos in Facebook or flicker Instagram You are using cloud computing necessarily Who here wouldn't know how much of your bandwidth goes to a video right now 40% We love digital video We make it we consume it we suck down Netflix Netflix is under the language right now We use Google video we make video from webcams We make video conferences even the technology isn't very good Nothing slows this down YouTube Maybe the world's single largest cultural artifact and connective tissue Then How many of you played a computer game in the past two months how many of you have never played a computer game How many of you think this question makes you What do you do Are you playing 3d printers at all? That counts that counts the game No, no, no that's fine. That's fine. I mean there's basically two populations in North America We don't acknowledge or recognize or engage in computer gaming one of them is the ash and the other one are academics we If you don't use computer games if you place you don't which is great. I try to avoid It's already changed your life in a few ways if your laptop is good enough Have nice quality Netflix video video conferencing. It's not because you play Excel Or worth it's because 95% of the users are video So they've upgraded the sound they upgrade the CPU to upgrade the memory The second is it changes only the interfaces so she watched American TV news Which you never should but if you do And look at the screen all the information streaming across it's fascinating You're gonna encounter that almost anywhere else in your life except say a cop to the jet fighter except computer If you look at TV news from 1970s, it was almost naked. There's one person talking to maybe a little It's scary to watch Computer games are widely played by all genders all ages all ethnicities in the US They're a global industry enormously powerful Tickishly designed a fierce competition on the marketplace Behind me this might give you a sense of some of the current technologies Let's push a little further forward In 1990s, there's a movement called a cypher pump Which is concerned with surveillance and privacy of people who are worried that they're being surveyed massively if the work People would riot in the streets So this gentleman behind me proved extensively that the government surveyed the US population the world population In ways that may be unethical or certainly illegal and our response was Okay They were actually getting now Facebook is interested in feeling like a therapeutic subconscious response This gentleman is one of the founders of wire magazine is a couple of recent books that are pretty interesting as an English professor I'm excited that he distills contemporary technology into a first Nate geren's which makes me very happy. I just want to pull out forward because they're especially important This is a top-level sense of technology the forum I can talk about a screening just means we like using screens It's kind of obvious that it's true Flowing means that we'd like moving content between devices. You'd like to move between the phone near the laptop Remitting means that we like to combine content and interacting means not just you like to pick men You'd like to make things in your Before big things don't want to draw attention to the first is accessing Where's my very And what part of it is yours? I'm the library director at the law school Oh fantastic just comes here. Just awesome. Excellent. Great. Are you going to my friends or is you ahead of here? You're right my brain awful right there These two ladies have a problem that puts library profession That you already participated which is libraries used to assemble Materials they used to assemble collections that would stand at that time They now will increasingly assemble licenses instead where they give you access to content. So you're using less is Texas or J store And it's abowning the documents be a physical Individuals you're only the access to How many people seem to spotify? And our Apple music Of course I'm telling you last night A lot of death metal and classical The thing that's all having common is we don't own any We've Netflix streaming. We don't own the DVDs. We don't hold them in our hands We have as a civilization the sign that we would rather access and own off-line material. That's important. That's a big shift We have a way spoken about it The second is sharing or what lawyers will lately call rampant copyright violation We love to share stuff. How many can make remix tapes back in the day? Yeah Have you seen that little meme that goes around it's an audio cassette with a pencil if you know what these two have to Do with each other for a certain time period That's terrible technology and we loved it. We'd make tapes I won't ask them if you did VHS to VHS tapes because that was I won't talk about the many technical ways you think that when you're nodding fingers, that's really exciting The reason we love sharing stuff. We love sharing recipes. We love sharing clothes We love sharing news stories. And that's just how we use the digital technology It's a key part of what we don't normally fully appreciate And we're going to keep doing more of that. On the top is a conifying and you already experienced So this is the addition of some intelligence make our visual intelligence to your visual environment So if you type in something to Google and start suggesting auto-complete for you not based on spelling But based on who you are. So if I type in say for example Cafe it'll suggest something that's physically near me if I'm locked in at that point if I type in say gothic It'll finish something. There's my scholarship. It's trying to codify things make them sharp and more intelligent Think what Amazon recommendation system is a kind of early-stage Part of that think that more and more tools being So think let's say auto-cap Think about your LMS or vibrates on that's another The others filtering we had this problem information overload Which we've played I had your workshop information overload So the Amazon is out to do and search for information overload for the first book It came back to publish my son religious publisher We need prayer to survive the divine intervention to survive. That was a good sign If you want if you see this there's an issue of the general history of ideas that the early monarchy information 1400 to 1700 people complain about being too much to read That's this depressing 20 books What's interesting is that we had information with a mean that's new stuff to take care of that's where the That's where new forms more And right now we're getting more and more weight So this is where Apple music has all those playlists This is where people go to say bloggers who focus on a specific topic because they can filter out information increasing These nature is a verse Automation You can talk about this for a long time a lot of ways of automation is changing In many ways our best bet to think about science fiction to understand what's happening because we really don't have a lot of So for example, I just love that ass photo. This is a drone with a chance of why it's a drone with a chance Oh, you don't need a reason Especially you can do this first. What would you guess Russia you think very close the wrong where are you creating? Oh, that's too close No one said the US you think right? This is Finland. So you have a special relationship with trees Why am I talking about this because automation is Already huge and we're not fully aware of what it is now Let's let's let's leave it be so you take a look at industry not here in the northeast in the Midwest enormous amounts of robotics in the industry South Korea is one of the world's leaders in this right now Worldwide you have a number of dark factories. These are factories that work at night who lights up These are robots don't need any light that we're entirely going to see by other sensors as they proceed We have all the self-driving cars as bad as they are now dependent on humans I mean the one of the bigger drivers ha-ha self-driving cars is insurance companies because they recognize that pretty quickly You will be a downside if you drive copper. It's like if you decide to eat nothing, but cheese and smoke Yeah, you can do that. You'll pay a price insurance already humans are kind of secondary citizens on the roads Most of the self-driving car accidents because of those psychotactic ill-conceived monsters us Hitting Well, it's a war. I mean, we're having some weird science fiction If a drone wasn't the wrong building whose response is that the operator might be in a tin can in Florida Is it the software is local commander? We should figure this out. We use many of these robust diffused bombs. We use them to diffuse terrorists We're automated more and more We also have Training Some of the strangest things if you haven't followed it It's already changing that if we have Wall Street furrows that rent software to trade I mean the basic principle of training by about self-high is already And they have really fine-tuned algorithms that buy and sell really quickly In fact, they move some of the actual in companies Physically closer together, so they need not a millisecond the effective second advantage of each other and those software programs Work on their own for a while buying and selling shaping the global economy Every time they have a glitch and they kind of crash parts they come and they come back up very fast You post human economy if you already have that's not science fiction. That's last years That's hot of us. We've thought software to write Not good poetry yet Pretty bad poetry. That's okay We've talked to writes in journalism sports journalism meteorology They're fine externalism daily time is a virtual home plate pot Which will tell you the news of earthquakes, which is pretty We've creativity as well. We have tools actually try to create art and audio video and images So this is a photo of a friend of mine. It's Canadian. They're from the emigrated camp to of excess city And there he is currently I think I fed this program to a Google program Which turned it into a psychedelic piece You can take that feed it back in it's a trip My point is automation right now is already a powerful force We mentioned all it's important though If you look at a web page now, and you see it's a three columns You see one column set 20 pictures. You see one picture. It's not because they assume you're an idiot Unless you're looking at TV news website, which will they do is security. It's because they assume you're most likely looking at this on a full Listen or screen or tablet if you're using desktop or a laptop computer You're kind of a minority citizen. You're not quite a full range of user right now You were designing for old first large parts of the world not We're still assuming that that's how the mobile world is not so complex So diverse has so many things that's really hard to track. This is Nils who trade track TV viewing This is their attempt to schema types the number of devices I've watched TV done as you tell it's pretty fast Now we've talked about a little more Recent technology shake your fear over it. What do you do? I'm the service manager. Oh, and you still smile I Terrible problems in psychology, which is in behavior psychology if you give somebody nothing but negative reinforcement They eventually go and say These poor guys all you do is you come to them and say if I think this is work It's broken. Hell yeah, it was perfectly. We never come I'll do this. We're going to service desk. I'll say my network is fine So Virtual reality is an ugly term dates back to the 1990s. We're the first wave of VR We tried to make things happen I was a grad student University of Michigan like top classes using VR is kind of fun I won't steam up Virtual reality can go in a few directions right now. This is one. This is actually apparently a very positive event The photo looks like something nightmarish This was an event in Spain where Mark Zuckerberg gave thousands of people But it looks like something nightmarish It's possible VR could go bad in a lot of ways. There aren't any standards across the platform There are possibility capture lots of information and to use VR. I'm not sharing it No one trusts Facebook for example, so it could be a dystopian future It helps me a stupid future. This is the worst photograph of technology taking the 21st century I actually have convinced it's a deliberately designed to make fun of it. Although the article is very positive This is Palmer lucky. There's not a new person But he's one of the best vloggers for us and he looks like a moron. This is terrible It's possible to be our collapse that we won't do much with it. You think about 3d TV No, no one picks up 3d TV because it died. They were 3d films Barely existing at all right now for an avatar. They look out of nowhere VR is tricky. It's complicated. It's expensive at times. It's very very challenging It might not go very far. It might just be a niche This is I think the most likely I love this photo so much to the right side. We have the most powerful man in the world. We have president Obama Trying to look as cool as he can While looking at your and he's using the technology He's clearly having a blast. He's really enjoying what I think is interesting. It's on the left side That won't be a careless. She's telling me. We're bad. She's checking the email, right instead of this What I do by this is We could simply see VR as a part of life as a production tool It's something that we simply use on everyday basis. It doesn't necessarily become sexy or get a lot of attention But we use it. I think this is more cycle. It's like word processing a phrase we can use it before But we all use technology all the time. I don't want you to be able to do this. Now if you haven't experienced VR You actually have to Do you have a tilt brush ready at your hardware? I do not try to find out for for example till brushes a pain program Which lets you draw you draw in 3D So one thing I can do that we draw the door Decorated and I can walk through it And look it from the side My only caution to you is you can do this So complex integration if you have that chance to look into the art It's something to hear a view master It has incredible depth to it Storytime possible to very very deep. I was downloading a VR docking for very bad But the VR level is terrific. I put on my goggles put inside I'm sitting in the house House is kind of falling apart in front of me sitting on the sofa was an old woman who was telling me something I lead forward here Because it wasn't completely loud As she was talking I heard sound behind me So I turned around and then turned back to apologize Because I felt rude and kind of that I'm with technology for now This doesn't happen to me usually it really stuck me the noises can happen I had a war where it was the heart started to be fasted. This was a throwaway doctor This wasn't a major work wire. We're just ready to explore what this could be of. I recommend paying attention to it. The inverse of virtual reality is augmented reality Again, the truth is that if virtual reality means creating a virtual environment You can have it look at explore of mental reality clips it inside out that takes a visual content It ties to the physical world. I must have you've experienced some weak form of this If you've used Google Maps while you're walking or driving or while you're else was usable driving And it tells you where you are based on where you are That's a form of reality for you to like yell for example a little more We had visual superimposed so this is the path that pulls down the historical photos in one base on where you're standing So you can see that's a 1930s photo more or less overlapping with physical photos right now The part of the defense use of this for all kinds of great obvious things I have a program for people going to Wimbledon to the great tennis match So you can look around the town and it'll give you information about each building you were looking at Which is pretty useful to have A bit of reality was something I've been talking about for 10 years It finally got mainstream acceptance in the US where the Pokemon go where you had people chasing things all over the place My favorite Pokemon is a Pokemon Go. It's a game called zombie run. Anyone have you ever played that game? Yeah Do you want to try for sure? Zombie universe It's a zombie's game where you are supposed to pop into the environment you have to be surviving chased by zombies Except they're tied to your physical environment. It's a Johnny and exercise game So you put it on and said all right there's zombies are coming you have to run point six of the mile go And if you run very slowly Desperately You get if you survive the mission you get points and it ties into the whole game all day is a form of That's on right. Yeah, you want to say anything more I understand This is where things get really really interesting and we're still figuring this out Maybe your Microsoft general will be able to tell something about this because my War any other company out there is doing If you combine virtual reality or meta-reality you have what we call mixed reality or combined integrative reality So imagine for example being able to point your phone at the sky And getting information about what you're looking at live as you go information Very detailed and complex you can see that here This is a screenshot from a company that may change the world or may not to start in Florida called Magic League They're all about making tools like this They haven't released anything that we can get our hands on it, but they've stuck down billions of dollars of funding Meanwhile Microsoft has a hold that simply works. You put this thing in your head If I had this on right now, I could add a copy of outlook to that wall I could put Pandora on the ceiling and it would freak out They take a photo of one of my cats put the wall here Missing from this is the mouse and keyboard Our voice I touch my motion Arguably the most revolutionary digital technology since the bouncing keyboard Keep an eye on reality So now we go a little further forward we want to cover So one thing to think about is this We've been shrinking technology since forever and we keep doing that This is a screenshot or a photo Profile a lot of the university mission It's a it has a little bit of memory Sensors to record data and a little bit of wireless a little bit of the cloud. It's the size of a grain of rice This isn't new. This is actually located for real in the computing history museum in San Francisco We're reaching a point of where we think of invisible computing computing that's low into everyday life In ways that we call ubiquitous computing another term for that is the Internet of Things That is you have to imagine having say different wheels of your car Generating data that you can access from your own Good friend of mine rather British technology in the state of Tennessee Their house full of things like a smart egg carton which has sensors at the bottom each little cup They can tell you how much the eggs way it's crazy But you can actually tell if the eggs gone off because it's temporary its weight changes We're trying to add more and more Devices to interlink more of the physical environment with everything from clothing to appliances to people that's They aren't quite sure the full range where this could go yet But one thing about that hyper looping click on a web page I should hyperlink you to your entire physical environment. That's the dream of the Internet of Things They're all kinds of issues with this which we can come back to Then it's this All the digital world the physical world you'd have and it was asking. I'm sorry to your name I'm asking this on a 3d printing 3d printing has really changed And if you haven't played with 3d printer, I really recommend it because on the one hand it looks kind of dull Industrial they're having this weird sensation the sensation is in the 1970s We had 2d printing the Xerox machine in Star Trek. We have the replicator Right now we're somewhere in between It's a really weird sensation and no one knows how far 3d printing We can print a lot of strange stuff print appliances We can print toys or art The British print food, please don't look at it. It's British food So it's horrifying to begin with Architects are competing to build more and more stuff about 3d printing including entire buildings And bridges NASA keeps trying to print things in zero G We have medical uses including printing body parts now that they push the grip on more tissue It's not tissue. It is the print important. That's what we're working on right now Here you see a bunch of students around one 3d printer trying desperately to make it work One before to be able to 3d print 3d printers. We're about 90% there There are all kinds of issues around us the phrase I want you to think about is 3d printing across the curriculum There's an apartment to cross the was used to not engineering departments I've seen French biology. I've seen a lot of school studies We can talk about Bitcoin at their time Blockchain is right now extraordinary technology as a whole if you'd like to just think about this as a historical framework We had the internet thing back to the 1960s 1990s local web on top of the other things that aren't in the web But use the internet like I change for example for many reasons about mobile apps Blockchain is technology using the internet, but not the web So I think was a parallel universe It has all kinds of interesting things one major use right now. It's major goal It's of the permits. So don't think about using blockchain Your photo of your breakfast thinking about is a place for storing things like student records Class I only want to preserve for a long period of time Contrary to the fear of a strange good technology to preservation. That's it's me and they should right now Come back to it. If you've been looking to blockchain It's very weird and counterintuitive Trying to get away from Bitcoin. It's a different world That's one piece of blockchain technology right now is a crazy frenzy and not a speculation But then do one side unless you want to play in which case they go ahead the thing of the blockchain separately Let's bring this more into the classroom talk with a few specific issues We may have spent so much time technology because it's a complicated world Right, so a few things the bloody classroom the flip classroom in many ways progressing. I see this in cave for all as well as in post-secondary Education everything from people doing more classroom recordings to simply the idea of using the face-to-face environment for face-to-face does best and then use the digital world for what it does best and there are many many examples Many campuses are doing more classroom capture for various reasons. We've more faculty try to produce video We have the same time dynamics in the classroom We're also learning managers You're in Chicago. It's impressive It's a kind of rare in the world right now. It's many ways the most technologically impressive LMS I think out there the LMS world right now is fully mature We have serious LMS providers that are out there in the opening. Yes, Germany or the public My My apologies, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know Gary In Europe we refer to the LMS as a virtual learning The Because the LMS world is a many-way state most the LMS would do what they did 10 years We're talking about the idea of blowing that up to increase it all the next generation What would happen if you could design the LMS for the L.A. For the year 2018 would include more social media. It's right now the LMS is a social Would include more open contact and more open access materials with a dis-indegree and re-indegree the federated way I Can't point you to a product out there right now. People are trying to make this work thinking Obviously business learning continues to grow Play Christiansen predicted that around last year we would have far less in under students on Face-to-face not quite there yet or closing it out I should ask do you have an open access initiative on campus or so? Okay, so I don't need to talk too much about that because you are the experts Open it is a passionate movement across all post-secondary education around the world growing incrementally in the future of ways One is the idea of open education resources and you're seeing this in the community college space in the u.s The public hiring space as well We have z glasses and z degrees z zero cost Which is a really powerful movement and this is growing incrementally We already have a great body of open education resources A lot of the reason they haven't come to the world It's just it takes time to change a lot of those mind streams and stuff because the qualities have to be there We have open access in scotty publishing and this is a bitter brutal war being fought across the world right now Which is aren't we going to have for-profit proprietary Scholarship companies like else in here or widely will only destroy them all and maintain an open access forum That's the start for that civil war. This is being fought in tenure committees grab programs in courtrooms and legislatures There's a huge huge debate. You know open access can be used to grow incrementally here by here Meanwhile, we have an open teaching which is basically taking your teaching practice and sharing it with work So you treat it on a class or you treat it about a problem you're having and you try to get feedback and responses We have faculty who applaud about this matter a podcast about it It's a fascinating development that goes against a many boys a lot of our training And the idea of having a classroom with a closed door would be a lot of space Yeah, please Uh, there are a few more technologies, but I want to I want to shift away for a second And talk about some of the strategic conditions So I mentioned gaming education And there are a lot of ways to use gaming One is to have a game as multimedia content. So for example It's an international relations class in Pennsylvania tickets in college Where they have classes most in arab is really politics. They play a game called peacemaker Which is incredibly realistic, which is to say very frustrating game One player is a palestinian farmer. He's the other player who seems really generous And the students research the subject play the game through one side Write about the experience do some more research play the game from the other side Then write about the experience and have to go There are a lot of pedagogical devoted to these games To the replayability and the fact that most games are designed as pedagogical tools to help you learn them very carefully The other way is we have students or faculty making games I don't need games like call of duty. I mean smaller games For example, a gettysburg college that was a professor who had his students make very very small text based games Based on archaeological sites so that you could play the game Welcome to this cathedral and you get to walk through it and the student had to design the games that you would see on the right places Another way and this might sound too 21st century But in many ways not is that game studies is an academic field With peer-to-peer journals with scholarly books and monographs with endowed chairs and classical open plays Let's you think of games as multimedia artifacts Well, we have cinemas and film studies. We have radio communication programs. It's international to have games as part of that That libraries have also perceived protocols for preserving games and rendering access to them, which is pretty interesting So gaming is one thing I want you to keep in mind If you think gaming sounds too often embarrassing use the word simulation Because in many ways the two overlap in quite a few ways Second thing to think about I'm a humanist My background is in literature I managed to terrify all of my colleagues by talking about things like post-structuralist theory got that literature That I taught will be dead and they all love me So let me just say it's awesome, but Humanists are usually speaking with people last to get on more digital technology For all kinds of interesting reasons But what we do we do some interesting things And now we have a movement called the digital humanities movement And the idea is to use digital technology To fulfill classic humanities questions and ask interesting questions And then use the technology for what you can do in positive or powerful ways So for example, there are a series of fantastic web-based archives that are now scholarly great material For example, Walt Whitman and without that concept of William Blake Those are used by scholars who are doing research And they're also used to anger classes in complex discussions We're also going to invent new things We're going to give the term Distant reading You feel the term close reading where I grab a poem from you Because you write poems in a written And I read that sentence very, very closely Instead I could take a look at 100,000 poems at once Analyze them Generate a word cloud Look for networks of the science between them all And really change our understanding of literature Imagine taking Google books And looking at over 200 years And entering a few words to see how often they appear in the web So for example, let's take a look at the word fascism Nothing until 1930 Obviously, it takes up It goes down in 1946 1963, it comes back up for you That's interesting It tells me something about your field That's why it's such a history And I want to dive into that and learn more The digital humanities movement is very, very popular And I confess It's actually growing Humanities, anything growing I've been saying, casters, big step forward Now here's one thing I have to point out I'm in a courtroom I feel kind of awkward saying this Can I ask you both to undertake A massive human experiment? This is hard The hardest thing I'll ask you to do Is just for a moment I have a feeling It's being nice to lawyers for the next 30 seconds Just don't need you It's hard, it's hard But you know Joe, what do you call a pilot 10,000 dead lawyers? A star I mean people hate lawyers, I don't know anybody else But just for a second Because the law field, boom In the 1970s, up until about 10 years ago It's been collapsing ever since And one of the reasons for that collapse Is technology Because we can automate key chunks of law So contract writing We can automate parts of that And practice justice That is, if you're wrong You want to figure out where you can legal your dress We can put parts of that online And then we can go through documents And do rediscovery Automating more and more legal functions Which is pretty exciting Pretty challenging Last point here Social media, or the web in general Is the new way for us as scholars To communicate with each other If you think back, say 40 years I face-to-face meetings and conferences And by snail-mill That's interesting But now, the blogosphere For almost every academic discipline Is an active, live thing In macroeconomics, blogospheric arguments Are changing what we talk about economics In many ways With grad students who grow up Learning their discipline Much like going to a professor Or going to a conference About following complicated arguments Social media is now a key part Of the community of scholarship Unconsciously exciting Can I give you this one slide, please? If you just be kind for a second We're going to start chortling Turning red or something I have a type of library very much Which is unfortunate because libraries Are some of the great heroes Of 21st century America If you think you've had to teach people Technology a challenging way You haven't been to a library That says Please, tell me about using HTML Designed VRML It has to translate that sense Next, there will be somebody who says I have to use computers I never have where you want to start Libraries have to answer all those People all at once Every single dimension between public libraries Are many of those unsung heroes Of how we access digital technology So I have to say that that's a key part But another important part In ways that are fascinating And that libraries are fighting up all the time Here are a couple of possible visions For those of you who know One is that in a collection development As I said before It's not quite the major thing it used to be So perhaps libraries become The information literacy mediators They help people learn the skills For sussing out truth from non-truth And in between This used to not be a very popular thing Until the 2016 election Everybody's keenly excited about it And librarians are the discipline Of protection in higher education The best in it for dealing with this Nobody else has that shape behind them And they have this whole field Information literacy back in the late 80s You can add to that Digital literacy And this may be one of the major functions Of the library on campus right now I'm sitting on campus physically For online learning, it's the same function The second is open scholarship When I go to different campuses In many of the libraries For pushing open scholarship Faculty don't actually have the training To talk about that Or necessarily be interested The libraries have that training They also listen to interest And hear those sort of information Entrepreneurship So we have the great idea The reference librarian Have both of your own reference librarian That's an amazing thing to do But instead of being at that desk For librarians to go out To the community and mediate Between people and information needs I've heard a passionate argument For this to fit by one of the leading Research librarians in China It was argued that support libraries Should go out in the future These are a few changes to think about Now Over the next few months You're going to be talking about this You'll be thinking about technology But one of the things I like to ask you to think about Is all these different trends That show you, you know, thinking about mixed reality Thinking about library Thinking about graphics You want to think first which of these is really powerful In terms of your own work I have to ask you, what do you do here? I've been directed at media And public relations for the universe Fantastic! So all these trends Hit you all the time Good luck I want to ask you a pinterest later I'll come back to it So what do you think about this Which of these trends Is the most impact for you Doing media relations with them Or being an architect Or being a pro or being a student Or being a parent Check your questions Which of these is the most difficult to predict? Some of these are pretty predictable Demographics Make them They don't change at all Some of these things Are pretty intense Now We can get pretty futuristic But I'm conscious of time I'm going to tend to feel it You're supposed to think Keep going Go, go, run I like the sound of it Let me show you a couple of things For your physical class Maybe for the physical campus And the ways that we can change and reboot And redesign the technology Think about all these other impacts as well Think about the economics And the different attitudes So for example What I'm doing right now is pretty weird What I'm doing right now is kind of what you used to do In the 1600s On Hector and you, you're sitting there taking notes Or falling asleep or wondering Does this beard really stop this in all of the center of the earth? I mean, whatever you're thinking of This is a pretty classic pattern We have many ways to go beyond this We have the learning We have the technology We have the classroom architecture So for example, if we have some way Of having to do work individually Like it's lecture for five minutes Then come out and then wander around That's doing that And move back and forth We also have the possibility of taking the whole physical campus And making it Through the Internet of Things One giant classroom And one giant media relations department Campus So if you walk across campus Imagine pulling the information About downtown properties Or about this campus Imagine having data Put your phone in point at a building Who's in that building right now? We can really blend The campus We'll talk to architects about that As well as The director of IT This is a cover From the most boring magazine in the United States This is a magazine that has No imagination at all That's why you buy it If you don't know, this is the place That this is making reports on Consumer products Toasters, cars, foot-flops And higher education This was their cover The reason I'm mentioning this Is because this isn't some crap opinion This is a general sense About 2008, higher education Is a major, major crisis vote Here's why Obviously There's anxiety about cost And the cost is often overblown Where people think that the sticker price Was not their actual price students pay Doesn't matter, the anxiety is enormous Very, very large If our price use will be taken hard to understand That's another reason for the value of our problems Second, is the anxiety Or a death? That's a low level NPR, New York Times Has a lot of stories of a recent $200,000 death That's crazy, that's an owl liar But the median amount of death Is about $30,000 That's a lot of money That's historically unprecedented For the U.S. higher education That has a big impact on how people live Another is grad schools I mentioned law schools having problems There's some NBA classes Overall, total enrollment In American higher education Has been down for 6 years We'll probably go down a little further next year As they impact immigration On top of this This political pressure Some of you might have heard back in the day That used to be a kind of reliable movie theater Where he has a lot of press in the public Education is awesome It's a feat In godless communism They're great teachers Back is pretty reliable And then 2008 And a bunch of democrats have actually Education is broken and we need to fix it And by democrats we have people like President Obama Democrats are education reform You get many Democrats who are making The same argument saying that teachers Humans are too powerful if you stop If you've seen the TV show House of cards, the Netflix It's a fascinating show in a lot of ways The first season our protagonist breaks And we also know that at no point do we know His political party It could be either at that point So we have all this pressure on higher education That gets worse We're talking a little bit about The zombie killuses I coined this awful term Hello? You came to the darkest room in the talk It's a little bit nicer It's all good In chess you have the queen's It's a desperate move To give it the most powerful piece To try and win the game In higher education we have When we close academic programs And get rid of faculty I don't necessarily mean adjuncts I mean tenure track or tenured faculty I've been tracking this for years It's been happening across the country My favorite example is a college in St. Rose In Albany, New York where the president Played off about 10% Of the entire tenured faculty In the next year it got an award The president by the survivor faculty This is not an assignment Healthy industry This is what we have To hold on to This is what we call A college premium We took two of you What do you do here? I'm the chief financial officer What's your name? Jared We had two gents One goes to high school The other goes to workforce Jared goes to college Jared too will make more money On average than Jared Calls the college premium How much is it? It's a substantial amount And this gender divide here Is shameful and embarrassing Because the United States is the 21st century We need to stop it But it's a horrible thing Think about the average between the two Let's say you make Let's say Jared too empathetically Makes $400,000 With life more By going to college $30,000 in debt That's a good investment That's a really good investment This is in many ways a higher education Trump card This is our ace in the hole This is what we can say No matter how scary you think That education is for whatever reason Or how anxious you are about it But it comes with this Because this is really an average So on the top of that Our thoracic surgeons And geological engineers Now they bother English page news But We have this to account for This might not work anymore This is historical It might not play out in the future But this is the many ways we have to cling to it Now the third thing That will stop We can think about this In a big picture type of way This is a tweet I keep coming back to Again and again In the long run I think we will evolve In computing from mobile first To an AI first world As I mentioned we're designing for mobile First and education isn't quite there yet So think of designing for AI first You may experience this if you use Alexa Or if you heavily use Siri Or any of them At the top I mean if you use all of these tools You get a sense of what's like to have an AI first world Imagine education looks like that We're still figuring out what that is So one thing to think about Is if we have widespread Under-employment As a result of technological revolution Is part of your function To guarantee Full employment for graduates In the face of a really hard economy Or is it also to give them something new too When they're out of employment I don't think this leashes The life of well lived Is that more of a job We just think about what that's going to be Or If we have more of a side work future I don't think in class is a therapy I mean just working more and more close to the technology Imagine a kid who goes to high school Who has a delimited AI As their assistant Who tracks the performance in class Who gives them nudges for quizzes And helps them out with thinking about assignments When they're watching a movie As a foreign language bid That student then goes to college And then the college AI Is smarter And helps them think about their curriculum And helps them And bodies their way through pathways to college That person then graduates Maybe they write an article for a law review journal And the AI helps them with the graphic assignments Is that an education is about that Aren't we helping students With that intimate relationship With that close AI Does that change their pedagogy Do we outsource more of this To that For example, I'm using the dual lingo language By the program right now Right now it's about as good As a 101 language class That I would generically get If you drop me somewhere randomly in the US Take Spanish 101 That's what I have right now Five years from now Do we outsource Spanish To dual lingo 9.0 Or here's the other one Think about this very carefully I mentioned self-driving cars That are better than us right now Think about speech transcription Microsoft has a team That does better speech transcription Than humans do So if you play audio tape It will come with better text results Technology that can read your eyeballs And your skin looking for pupil And cataract stimulation Which we then translate into moods At some point we'll have software That can read human emotional states How are we going to deal With living in a world where the technology Is just better than us Popular culture has all kinds of ways Of thinking about it Our old Schwarzenegger is one of them We have lots of science fiction that's thinking about it But not academia In a catalog You think about law You think of poly science Psychology and philosophy and religion In many ways academia is a place to help us Think what happens next This is what happens next to me though This is outside I come from a small state That's very low tech We're not sure about new technology And cable TV I think we're up cable TV This is a bunch of high school students We had a contest In the state They had me go to the mobile community To find a historical building Read up on the building Primary source material Secondary source material And they printed it out And I was one of the judges for a contest These kids came along with the state They had a massive state Like the size of half of this room And they had these little printouts Placed in different parts They talked to all these kids Look how cool they are Oh, you're not free for a thing, I'm sure After one kid spent a day Modeling a house Stone walls He couldn't do the texture just right Talked to their kid Who built three versions of the same building So you can take them apart over time So you can see how it changed over a century I think about these kids Usually kids are going to go to college I think, are we ready for them? I think when they were kids When they were much younger We broke the global economy And we started globally warping the world Faster and faster Doing what our eyes wide open And we hate these kids still We blame them for not being the economy We blame them for being entitled We blame them for being trophy kids I think about these kids every day I wonder how we can involve To respond to them That every talk, presentation Ends with URLs occurring Instead of blah So if you want to find out more stuff About me, blah blah blah Do we have time for questions Or do I have to release them to the bathroom? A couple minutes please I talk to you a lot, I would love to hear your thoughts Go back to the person All those trends Which gets you the most interested Or the most terrified And most excited When we're covering English professors I'll call on you if you can say And you miss the most in everything I know, but I really like that That's usually a good sign I mean, you know Is there such a thing as a post-season Environment You know What is You can also find parallels Going back In many different points in history Where technology Outstrips biology You know In the early 80s being able Even if you go back To being able to treat disease With privacy We've always had technology that's ahead Because that's what we've defined as progress And education has a role To help people to discern What is Our relationship To Our own sense of Progress and innovation And I think education always comes from there To serve our process First of all, can I call on you? If you've got the technology I'll work it out, the 3D printing is coming It's a scanner, it's a hard part What do you do here? I actually fundraise for the person Excellent, we need more Everyone This is the Go back to the 1880s and 1890s When the telephone started to appear And people get freaked out Because you can hear the voice of the dead And now we're kind of used to that To know how shocking that was Or the telegraph, the telephone Even the voice of someone invisible Life Dizzying stuff People are freaked out Education is there, there are ways to respond to that And we've done this with all kind of technology I mentioned human life is a matter of three Flickering around As we get older and older I mean, not individually, but as a society Age is out, how do we respond They're in schools across the U.S. They're experimenting with senior Yes, please I think there's so much about human technology When you're really thinking about the future I think there's a lot of questions you raise There's some relevance, but I think There's also a lot of content and consequences That I think you talked about There's also, I think maybe more The role of PhDs and faculty are changing From having experience with a lot of technology Means that we're going to need to support them Difficultly that we are now And I'm wondering if you What your thoughts about that are Well, the first question is Who are you? What do you do here? I'm James Currie on the teen of the school Fantastic, thank you Thank you for letting me in your campus That's a terrific question Unintended consequences are just So, so bad as right now I got a chance to dive into some of them A great science picture of everyone said It's easy to predict a car It's hard to predict traffic jams So along with lines There's a Los Angeles architecture firm At a contest this year Trying to think about what happens to American spaces If we have fewer cars Because if we combine these self-driving cars With Uber and Lyft style Right-sharing We think about if a car does nothing All the time What if we can slowly reduce the total number of cars In North American streets What happens to spaces So, we've built out wider and wider roads We've built more parking garages The parking space is never enough Well, what if it's too much What happens to empty parking garages So this is through the contest To repurpose them, they become Major spaces, they become housing They become medical places Which are really unintended consequences Of a car And it becomes a technology Well, again, tell me your name, I'm sorry Lisa We have the ability To study this In the business sector, we often don't We have really tight schedules We can see a lot more And we can think about this But it comes to the rural faculty Something that I'm going to talk about One of the things that happened over the past years In the U.S. We were going to reduce tenured traffic And we went from having majority faculty Who were mostly tenured traffic To that being the minority And we continued that process We hadn't slowed it down at all And there's no public support for increasing Tenured anywhere in any state It's fascinating to see So we now have a majority of faculty Being actually across the U.S. And it depends on where you're driving By cycle, we've done that Right? Okay, touch your title Director of International Support and Learning Innovation For the School of International Studies Okay, cut that And you raise funds for it And you explain this to everybody else So one of the reasons I'm picking it up Is because the educational technology And structural design strategy Has changed It used to be that it was a support tenured faculty Because tenured faculty could be there For a long time They're a small portion of the many different campuses Of where you are So now educational desires Shift from supporting the adjunct faculty Instead That's an interesting shift I don't think it's going to be a little bit different But if you show that in That if you think about Who's going to be showing up on campus Not just in terms of their demographic But in their condition, their social and emotional health The way that we train the Ph.D. of folks to teach Is going to be different this condition But if you think about it How structurally How we train it every single level From undergrad to grad To faculty So that's what we're talking about How does higher education start to change differently Not just for those who are in the undergraduate level Those who are in the graduate level Those who are going to be in the classroom Are going to meet in different sides of the field Not just the content, disciplinary experts The leaders of the field Because I believe teaching and learning Very, very slowly We're changing very slowly And not very well So you think about something like For the classroom We are training people in that In wide numbers That's often a DIY kind of thing Or you can put discussions to questions If we push lecturers out of the classroom We have more Q&A role playing Then discussion That's fantastic You've got to train people As a teacher I have in mind Several great professors Several terrible professors Great people who ask the worst possible question That I've ever seen A few industry science theater level questions That would help me But in many ways they don't have the training for this So we really have to rethink that Much less we need more advanced technologies So if we're going to be training How do we train faculty to use VR in classrooms How do we teach faculty To teach students who live in a campus That's completely net worth in their effects Much less through something like One of the reality or official intelligence We have to be thinking about this And I think K-12 training Is ahead of higher training And also the relationship between Teachers and faculty Because as we move towards a much more Which I don't think is going anywhere I think it's completely expanding Instead of being more independent Which moment? Yeah That's the question What is the relationship between Education and faculty And how do we think about Scatting the level of work across K-12 and across higher That will be much more mobile California is a good place to see them California University System Really close to the high schools In California the CSU system Is very, very regionally focused So every CSU who tends to work Very closely would say 100 miles 100 miles radius And they were very closely with high schools One reason for that is enrollment Because the closer you work with high schools You can generate more enrollment I talked to Wesleyan University's President He joined EDX And created the MOOC And he told his faculty about it afterwards Interesting time I asked him the main reason for doing this Was to reach high school students It was important To tell people about how this could work So that kind of dual enrollment Together The problem is that's a horrible barrier across Faculty Cultural secondary and emphasis on post That's a very tough barrier across So I think that's the I think I'm looking at the CSU system For doing really great projects Soon might be making projects on that Individual schools in New York State But they have a terrible different problem Of hemorrhaging kids So that's a It's almost like we're evolving into a high-touch Cycle You had a question before Thank you, Dr. Hill In your discussion One thing that I picked up Was that You very well really mentioned anything about How that will impact What we do as educators As you told I was wondering perhaps If you could share a little bit About that Tell me what you do first What did you do? Fantastic Two different campuses in Texas Talking to faculty Who are falling over themselves Saying they couldn't do anything With their truck on the tires That's very good Leadership is crucial And it depends On the campus level Depending on the scale We have a seismic region Having a park and a provost level Because the provost is the head Of that kind of mission in college And their decisions really I think Are the most powerful in shaping everything else The president is rarely able to be in that line And below the provost level Depending on the size of the campus The head of the school Or the head of the program or department Has a lot of local power The head of the CIO Depending on the title What's your formal title right now? So the CIO Literally the CIO in this case Can make or break a technological deployment So if they're brilliant and forward thinking Like this gentleman is putting him in the spot There That makes a huge, huge difference Another part of leadership is What somebody else would spot The head of libraries Because the libraries have so much peace Of degree and the head of libraries Can stop that from happening Or throwing it over the back Beyond that If your private institution It depends on the role of your government structure Your board Or your other future enemies in charge Can really nudge things In strong ways And often end up giving the provost A lot of marching orders that Not every family will be aware of That's a really important conversation A lot of boards and they're fantastic to talk to Because they're so diverse That's another public sector Then we enter the state area The state area is wild right now I was at the Midwestern Higher Education Consortium Conference Which was really interesting There were half of them were academic leaders They were half of state government leaders So governors, committee leaders And the latter group Hated tuition increases completely One governor said Yeah, we have tuition for a statewide State education They're really sensitive about this But they also don't necessarily know a lot About higher education And they respond weird Are you following, for example, the New York State Excelsior's membership That's a really My analysis is That's Governor Cuomo He's a 2020 Democratic presidential In a really interesting way I don't know how much he wants to say But that has already run roughshod Over half of higher education in New York State So, for example, it's clobbering The private sector, it's clobbering community colleges Which is interesting to see That leadership really makes a big difference Because, I'm sorry Tell me your opinion Governor Cuomo Okay, thanks, Governor Thank you You're talking about the importance of training In faculty Leadership needs to be trained Yes, in terms of the technologies that are coming up And they need to be aware Of all the implications Only to be able to intersect with each other That's a very, very long one That answers your very own questions I hope it comes to that I tend to wait for someone to raise it Before I shake myself We're out of time? Yeah We've probably talked all day And we will Fantastic Five million words Stretch, stretch, stretch Give it back to yourself
