On September 27 we had at ASU the workshop on THE VISION OF A SMART UNIVERSITY: THE ROLE OF NEW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION
In the context of ongoing debate about smart cities and smart schools, an international panel of experts in higher education and educational technologies will consider the role of information technologies in the evolution of smart universities. The panel will seek to advance the development of the concept of a smart university and articulate strategies for further research on the appropriate implementation of information technologies in higher education. Panelists will consider various models, including the Digital University in China, which seeks to balance technological aspects with the human and social dimensions of higher education. The panel will also consider the implementation of information technologies at Arizona State University, which has pioneered the New American University model envisioned by ASU President Michael M. Crow. Dr. Rajiv Seth, Vice-Chancellor of TERI University in New Delhi, proposed the panel to assess the potential of information technologies to advance higher education.
