The Role of Higher Education in the Changing World of Work - Dianne F. Harrison, EDUCAUSE Review

The changing world is a universal topic of interest, with particular resonance to higher education. Colleges and universities research change, teach about change, and often impact current and future change. To support students to live in this ever-changing world, those of us who work in higher education strive to provide solid, relevant preparation at the baccalaureate and graduate levels. We proactively and thoughtfully integrate and rely on educational technologies — in curriculum and instruction, labs, assignment design, libraries, support services, and more. But increasingly, employers tell us that our graduates are not adequately prepared for the changing world. Why? Because the "world of work" has also changed, and these changes are not always configured as one would expect. https://er.educause.edu/articles/2017/10/the-role-of-higher-education-in-the-changing-world-of-work
