The Abundant University: Remaking Higher Education for a Digital World featuring Professor Mike Smith.

Over the past 20 years, new information technologies have transformed nearly every sector of the global economy, upsetting the market power of firms and creating abundant choice, interactivity, and personalization for customers. For a long time, the one sector remarkably absent from this transformation was higher education. In this talk, Professor Smith will discuss why higher education has been able to resist the forces of digital transformation that have altered so many other industries, why current market forces make higher education ripe for disruption, how disruption might impact structure and competition in the market for higher education, and what opportunities disruption could create for digitization research.
