Blueprint for Institutional Success
.

Management Commitment. Prioritize. Get the right people, give them what they need to be successful (money and resources) and keep the bureaucracy out of their way. Incentivize excellence.
Learning Innovation Center. Eight to ten people in a high tech media lab to assist with learning. Teachers have ideas and go to the lab to make the innovative pedagogy work.
Intellectual Property. Creativity with faculty on developing innovative content. Co-ownership of IP rights, CCSA licenses, entrepreneurial schools.
Global. Commit to connecting classrooms with other classrooms around the world.
Curricula. Commit to global open source curricula development. Teach the future as well as the past.
Hiring. Think outside the box - younger faculty, incentives for retirement, advertise openings more expansively, hire people who don’t look like the people they are replacing, let younger faculty control hiring committees. Legacy transfer issues.
Counseling. Reorient counselors from only assisting with the efficient attainment of degrees, to telling students that they need degrees, but also skills to make them unique.
Interdisciplinary. Encourage physical, social and intellectual interactions between faculty from diverse areas faculty lounges or faculty social networks. Incentivize collaboration across disciplines.
Practical. Collaboration between universities, community colleges, executive education programs and the business community.
Textbooks. Mass personalization. Shorter, less expensive, targeted content. Alternative delivery systems. Mobile learning.
