RPP #152: The Future of Education: A Scenario

• Rod illustrates a scenario he wrote as part of a strategic planning process on the future of education at the University of the Sciences.
• The scenario illustrates one future of education. As we all know, technology is increasing at an exponential rate. Self driving cars, facial recognition, virtual-reality, augmented reality and 3D printing are extant today, but will be integrated into everyday life within 5 to 10 years, whether we like it or not. The interesting thing about the scenario is that each one of the technological advances illustrated here can be demonstrated in isolation today. Who knows where we will actually be in 5 to 10 years!
