What might a college or university look like if we designed it from scratch - and assumed AI played a significant role?
Just a short post today with an announcement an invitation. This Thursday I’m holding an experimental video session. On the Future Trends Forum* we’ll have a group brainstorm/design exercise, where together we imagine how a new campus might appear and function in the age of AI. I’ll facilitate, using various tools to help people develop and share ideas: polling, whiteboard, chat, design thinking prompts.
This is a new thing for us. We’ve held scenarios and role-playing events on the Forum, but this is the first time we’re doing a design from scratch exercise. It’s an experiment! (Any thoughts or suggestions ahead of time appreciated, along with reflections afterwards.)
If you’re interested, you can register here or just join us from 2-3 pm ET on the 23rd.
*If you’re new to the Future Trends Forum, it’s my weekly live video program about the future of higher education. The usual session hosts one or several guests who have a particular angle on the subject. I facilitate the discussion, which is largely driven by audience questions and ideas. There isn’t any presentation or slideshow; instead, the program centers on conversation, as we believe combining multiple voices together is a great way of grappling with the future.
We’ve been doing this for nearly ten years now. There’s more information on our little website, including our YouTube archive with more than 450 recordings so far.
