A time of transformation
In 2016, higher education and technology are inextricably intertwined. Learning and teaching have evolved so that vast, almost infinite, amounts of information can instantly be called forth with a flick of a finger. Thanks to the internet, wireless broadband, and mobile computing, the modern classroom extends far beyond its walls.
Just 50 years ago, though, all of that was barely imaginable. Information was stored in books, as it had been for much of human history. Technological advances were limited primarily to conveniences like typewriters and overhead projectors. Little did most people know that in the 1960s, higher education was on the precipice of a digital revolution that would make information accessible to nearly everyone, setting the stage for a future where technology is integral to academe.
