Great article and it provides much to think about. In my view the enterprise agenda (not entrepreneurship - see QAA HE Guidance for definitions) has much to offer as it is creativity-based, but has yet to hit mainstream. Assessment of student performance is a huge issue. It is easy to measure predictable outcomes, but less so innovative and creative ones that challenge norms and offer alternative perspectives... but those are exactly what we need! If it is permitted here (delete if not), this TEDx talk might shine a little light... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gannilwc-o)
Exceptional description of the potentiality of the future of Higher Ed. I personally believe most universities will not be around in 15 years, or at least in the form we see them now. Many have worked very hard to create their own demise of irrelevance.
