The U.K.'s Independent Commission on the College of the Future has published a progress report containing preliminary findings (19 page PDF). While some aspects of the report make sense to me. For example, "Colleges will increasingly need to act as an essential service to people and employers in every community" if they are to survive. But other parts left me asking "why?" For example, "The college of the future must sit at the centre of a coherent education ecosystem." Why? Is there a need (independent of the needs of the college) that makes this a requirement? In fairness, the report attempts an answer - but I think it could consider the question more deeply.
