What do you consider to be innovations in higher education? What products/services, processes...?
On account of the continuing development of information and communications technology, many observers will include data-driven instruction, e-advising, evidence-based pedagogy, open-access textbooks, optimized class time, etc. in lists of innovations in higher education; however, such innovations owe from the onset to the aggressive pursuit of new revenue by professional organizations in higher education, especially in the United States. Here, there, and everywhere, online-degree programs and virtual universities proliferate, the outcome of ferocious competition that will surely fuel further innovation (and leave some higher institutions for dead).
PS: Beyond products, services, and processes, innovations in methods of delivery (or other elements of business models such as policy and strategy or system interaction) should also be considered, online delivery being one example of the fourth kind of innovation.
