Students already “DIY” and build an unbundled education and training path for themselves, demonstrating a clever and productive approach to lifelong learning. Despite this, institutions of higher education and businesses typically ignore or even problematize this behavior, viewing mixing-and-matching as a lack of degree commitment or with skepticism and reimbursement ambivalence. New Models of Higher Education: Unbundled, Rebundled, Customized, and DIY instead views this as the future of higher education: students mixing and matching education and training throughout their careers to reach personal and professional goals. The book considers the practical ways in which institutions of higher education, education technology companies, and workplaces can better respond to, and enable, this new way in which education and training are engaged and consumed. Covering a wide range of topics such as assessment, personal success, and education paradigms, this reference work provides examples and recommendations for policymakers, administrators, university presidents, academicians, practitioners, scholars, researchers, instructors, and students. |
