People must be able to access and apply information to contexts never thought possible before.
They will be able to build "a new culture for the academy."
"The revolution in information technology is bringing and will bring significant changes in how we perform our functions as teachers and scholars, and how students learn. Those changes create an imperative for new institutional structures and a new academic culture."
"It will offer new opportunities for cooperation across institutions...and for
collaborations across fields of science."
"I believe that one of the most dramatic changes will take place in the way we teach. In a current lecture class, students sit passively, receiving information." "With information technology the possibilities open to making the task of learning into a complex, active, and intellectually challenging engagement with a subject."
Campuses will not disappear as students turn to "virtual" universities.
Rather, "My own prediction envisions greater interdependence rather than independence among cutting edge researchers.
Teamwork and collaboration will become ever more important as research
questions draw on the expertise of diverse fields of knowledge."
Under this system, students might visit campuses "for shorter periods of concentrated interaction with faculty and research collaborations."
One of the results is that "the faculty of the future will need to be adept at drawing out the individual intellectual and creative talents of each student in guiding him or her beyond the mastery of information to the use and extension of knowledge."
It is in this view that landmark education was born.
The Landmark Education graduates aspire to educate themelves by using the language that celebrates, shares, and empowers the designing and living of extraordinary lives for everyone.
What do they offer?
landmark education
landmark forum
landmark seminars
National Science Board ChairmanKelly urges that "we need to continue to be more agile in identifying and adequately supporting the most promising areas for research. We need to enable broader cross-disciplinary, cross-sector, and cross-institution collaborations among researchers and their students, even while providing strong support to traditional fields."
"We should be quick to seek opportunities to employ the latest in technology in research and learning in an environment of free and open inquiry."
"It is our obligation to provide our future citizens with a healthy infrastructure of cutting edge scientific research and graduate education not just for today but to serve the next quarter century and beyond."
