Limited20211 online resource (89 p.)SpringerBriefs in EducationSpringerBriefs in Education.981-16-6505-2 This book is open access and discusses the re-imagining of the higher education sector. 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 EducationHigher & further education, tertiary educationbicsscEducationbicsscEducational strategies & policybicsscEducació superiorthubComunitat i universitatthubReforma de l'educacióthubLlibres electrònicsthubDistributed universityuniversity managerialismwork-based trustcollaborative learningsustainable buildingsglobal educational inequalitylow- to middle-income countriesglobal access to internetoverseas student feeshigher educationeducation reformfourth industrial revolutionOpen Educational Resourcesonline learninginternational baccalaureateOpen AccessHigher & further education, tertiary educationEducationEducational strategies & policyEducació superiorComunitat i universitatReforma de l'educacióHeller Richard Frederick1156831AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910510550703321The Distributed University for Sustainable Higher Education2703183UNINA
