Description
In today's knowledge-based global economy, continuous learning has become essential to ensuring a productive, competitive workforce. Confronted with both a growing demand for postbaccalaureate learning opportunities and increased competition, higher education institutions are developing new strategies. Institutions are pooling their resources, adopting new technologies, developing modularized curricula, focusing on quality assurance, and creating new credentials. Postbaccalaureate Futures explores the nature of the demand for postbaccalaureate learning and how this demand is influencing higher education generally--its financing, quality assurance, use of technology in teaching and learning, and public perceptions of the academy. - from Amazon
