Introduction: reconceptualizing higher education and lifelong learning in the era of the synergistic digital economy -- Education, age, and the machine -- Are we ready for the jobs that the digital economy will offer to us? -- Employing the 60-year curriculum as a strategic approach -- Creating the next in higher education at Georgia tech -- Known for whom we include: designing models for lifelong education at Arizona state university -- Market-driven education: the imperative for responsive design and application.
The 60-Year Curriculum explores models and strategies for lifelong learning in an era of profound economic disruption and reinvention. Over the next half-century, globalization, regional threats to sustainability, climate change, and technologies such as artificial intelligence and data mining will transform our education and workforce sectors. In turn, higher education must shift to offer every student life-wide opportunities for the continuous upskilling they will need to achieve decades of worthwhile employability. This cutting-edge book describes the evolution of new models-covering computer science, inclusive design, critical thinking, civics, and more-by which universities can increase learners' trajectories across multiple careers from mid-adolescence to retirement. Stakeholders in workforce development, curriculum and instructional design, lifelong learning, and higher and continuing education will find a unique synthesis offering valuable insights and actionable next steps.
