A few weeks ago I was invited to present at the Associate Deans Away Day at Northumbria University. I wanted to try and get them thinking a little differently about their university’s strategy for the future and where things might be heading.

I gave a talk called The Future Isn’t What It Used To Be that pulled together some emerging trends and how they might affect education.

I’m glad to report that what I felt was a little speculative in my talk was confirmed by many of the presentations from the deputy vice chancellors beforehand.

I recorded my part of the talk, which you can listen to in the player below or download directly here - 45.73MB

You can grab a PDF of the slides to accompany The Future Isn’t What It Used To Be if you’d like to see it in context.
