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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Education 606 $aHigher & further education, tertiary education$2bicssc 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 606 $aEducational strategies & policy$2bicssc 606 $aEducació superior$2thub 606 $aComunitat i universitat$2thub 606 $aReforma de l'educació$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 610 $aDistributed university 610 $auniversity managerialism 610 $awork-based trust 610 $acollaborative learning 610 $asustainable buildings 610 $aglobal educational inequality 610 $alow- to middle-income countries 610 $aglobal access to internet 610 $aoverseas student fees 610 $ahigher education 610 $aeducation reform 610 $afourth industrial revolution 610 $aOpen Educational Resources 610 $aonline learning 610 $ainternational baccalaureate 610 $aOpen Access 615 7$aHigher & further education, tertiary education 615 7$aEducation 615 7$aEducational strategies & policy 615 7$aEducació superior 615 7$aComunitat i universitat 615 7$aReforma de l'educació 700 $aHeller$b Richard Frederick$01156831 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910510550703321 996 $aThe Distributed University for Sustainable Higher Education$92703183 997 $aUNINA
