TOP-10 Insights – Trends in Higher Education
(Outi Tasala)
The nature of higher education institutions and their service models are changing due to the economic situation in Europe, but even more so due to the changes in the digital domain. Work in which future trends affecting HEI’s are identified is carried out by many notable organizations; Educause, Gartner, the NMC Horizon project, Caudit and Ucisa, to name a few. They aptly produce lists from different viewpoints of trends affecting the HE sector, mainly focusing on IT. However, these have not as of yet been analyzed on a European level. Through ERAI (Eunis Research and Analysis Initiative) we are working to provide a piece to the European puzzle. We believe it would be beneficial to not only identify what has been suggested, but to start a discussion on the impact of these trends on HEI’s, and a dialogue on what – if realized – these trends mean to the institutions.
