ABSTRACT

The year 2020 began with grand ideas about building future higher education. Thereafter universities have been through a constant swirl of uncertainties and confusions as they respond to a novel suite of radically reconfigured fundamentals and prospects. This essay charts this journey in order to document 2020 experiences, and to clarify evolving circumstances. We present our personal situations as the basis for articulating perspectives. We discuss shifts with higher education systems, education reconfigurations, research developments, the mobility of students, and faculty members. Finally, we explore the need and opportunity to design future higher education. Engaging with transformed fundamentals provides a means, we propose, to design a new, global hybrid higher education.

摘要

2020年始于关于建设未来高等教育的宏伟构想。此后，大学在应对一系列新的，彻底重新配置的基础知识和前景时，一直经历着不确定性和困惑的漩涡。本文记录了这一旅程，以记录2020年的经历并阐明不断变化的情况。我们将个人情况作为表达观点的基础。我们讨论高等教育系统的变化，教育结构的调整，研究的发展，学生和教师的流动性。最后，我们探索设计未来高等教育的需求和机会。我们建议，与不断变化的基础知识打交道，可以提供一种设计新的全球混合型高等教育的方法。
