In 12 years, higher education could look totally different. Or it could be almost the same. It just depends on whom you talk to. A survey of 1,021 technology stakeholders and critics by Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project and Elon University School of Communications showed both of these responses. Just more than half of respondents agreed that higher education would be different by 2020, complete with more hybrid classes that combine online and in-person pieces. Thirty-nine percent agreed with the opposite statement that higher education wouldn't be much different, and in-person classes would remain a mainstay.
