THE UNIVERSITY OF THE FUTURE
Change is the only constant thing in every sector across the world, and so in the education sector too. Since it is inevitable, many organizations thrive on staying focused and maintain their reputation. Just like in other institutions, Ohio State University is also thriving to suit in the dynamic world by improving various elements to stay competitive as described below;
Question 1:
The use of the internet to ease the learning process is critical and will continue to dominate even in the future. This development is rapid, improving each day. Moving from first to the fifth generation and probable going further is a positive change hence proving the learning process within the University and among the community.
Also, the university knowledge-based systems, which include campus leaders team need constant revolution, and flexibility in adapting to change brought by the technology. For this reason, it is evident that the University, through its management is currently connecting its scholars, and team leaders Southern Region Education Board to diversify its operation, and beyond (Pike, 298).
Even though the world is going digital, learning facilities such as libraries and laboratories are still vital in doing research and enhancing the learning process. The physical structure, facilities need to be improved to suit the future needs of the University. For instance, the number of students increasing each day and the first facilities remain vital in providing them with the best education they deserve; hence the must continue to provide the basis of learning.
The admiration structure and leadership are also vital in every institution, so in Ohio university. For effective, efficient transition, the university administration needs to exist even when the rapid changes occur. Ohio university needs to formulate and implement policies to suit the dynamic nature of the world to remain firm and competitive (Pike, 298).
Question 2:
Enterprise Project
Enterprise project entails any collective endeavour aiming at examining and improving operations of all administrative functionalities at Ohio State University as well as the Wexner Medical Centre. Although this collaboration has been there before, future university plan calls for its improvement to transform the institution’s processes and implement its systems to focus on payroll services, management of finance, student information details, and human resource. Through coupling these efficient, and effective processes with current systems, the University will be able to achieve an excellent operation to propel its strategic plan concerning Time and Change
Scholars and Faculty recruitment and collaborative Diversity.
Connecting the university scholars to different boards is a program that is going on within the University though not very useful. However, the university management, through its academic leaders, and campus partners have established a strategy to diversify Ohio University faculty ranks to collaborate with Southern Region Education Board to link the University leaders to the community scholar, which are multidisciplinary. This will enable them to attend monitoring and teaching the annual institute, which is the largest minority PhD gathering for scholars with the state (Kigerl et al.., 578).
Digital Flagship
Technically, the University is progressively trending well, even though not too satisfactory considering the world’s dynamism nature. For this reason, a comprehensive wide digital initiative for learning enhancement structure is currently in place. This will support the university innovation among students as well as economic improvement for the community, and focus on digital literacy, and active learning (Kigerl et al.., 578).
Innovation techno Fund
Every University is seeking to accommodate as many students as possible and provide them with the quality of education they deserve to stay focused regardless of their financial status. This is why the University continues to embrace grants such as Opioid Innovation Fund to encourage students, staff, and community partners to reduce the Opioid crisis burden and to implement strategies based on evidence in the community hence stay competitive.
Question 3
With this rapid technological advancement that the world is currently experiencing, 2050, students will be a technological model with the issue of classroom learning coming to cease. By then, all the technical knowledge will be found online, and video consultation and conference will advance. Although today’s students are also into this, the significant difference will be a physical appearance in classes and discussion (Tallis, Heather 568).
. According to various researches, classrooms and laboratories will remain to be research centres. Institutions like Ohio will need to replace most of their resource in designers’ instructional to help the students in learning preparation.
Also, the learning space is a trend that is slowly changing. More integrated and the use of technologies to better student understanding as well as the learning process will change. Desks in rows in 2050 will remain a vocabulary to students, and free, flexible classrooms that will accommodate groups and team learners will dominate. These places are wired heavily and more significant than the current ones.
The adoption of actual hub libraries by the students in 2050 is another change, as they take key roles in learning as compared to the current state, and the digital library will tend to take over. Additionally, digital learning is coming with an exoskeleton to boost the human brain or the leverage mind. The student will, therefore, have the opportunity to interrogate facts, ideas, and concepts, including attributes, and meta-skills to encourage thoroughness and intellectual. Learning will consequently be of machine-based than the human brain in action (Tallis, Heather 568).
The virtual reality will dominate in decades to come, though Ohio University is currently using them even now. But the paradigm is changing, and as many universities are exploring the technology, Ohio students in 2050 will be more into than their current generation.
