It exposes problems that relate to the way that universities have become over-managed business enterprises which may not reflect societal, national, or global educational needs. From there, it proposes some solutions, including three innovative programs, that make universities more responsive to needs, as well as reduce their impact on the environment. The central idea of this book is developing the ‘Distributed University,’ which distributes education to where it is needed, reducing local and global inequalities in access, and emphasizing local relevance in place of large centralized campuses, with a low impact on the environment. It emphasizes the distribution of trust in place of managerialism and collaboration in place of competition. By focusing on distributing education online, this book discusses how the higher education sector can be set up to adapt to the changes in the ways we work and learn today, and which will be required to adapt to and take advantage of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-193XEducation, HigherEducational technologyInclusive educationEducation and stateEnvironmental educationHigher EducationDigital Education and Educational TechnologyInclusive EducationEducational Policy and PoliticsEnvironmental and Sustainability EducationEducació superiorthubComunitat i universitatthubReforma de l'educacióthubLlibres electrònicsthubEducation, Higher.Educational technology.Inclusive education.Education and state.Environmental education.Higher Education.Digital Education and Educational Technology.Inclusive Education.Educational Policy and Politics.Environmental and Sustainability Education.Educació superiorComunitat i universitatReforma de l'educació378EDU000000EDU015000EDU034000bisacshHeller Richard Frederick1156831AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910510550703321The Distributed University for Sustainable Higher Education2703183UNINA
