The summit will feature a keynote lecture by Prof. Manuel Castells (USC), titled “The University in the Information Age: From Theology to Technology”
The event is sponsored by Penn’s Office of the Provost in cooperation with the University of the Future Network and the Online Learning Initiative
What is the future of the university? What is the university of the future? How have globalization, radical transformation of information technologies, digital media, and increasing demand for 21st-century skills and competencies combined to trigger an urgency for higher education institutions of all kinds to transform the ways they create and deliver content and respond to social and economic expectations? These are some of the questions that will be answered during the summit.
