Tomorrow's Universities: A Worldwide Look At Educational Change

by W. Werner Prange, David Jowett, Barbara Fogel, W Werner Prange

Overview

In this book the authors present a unique synthesis of materials that evolved from the World Conference on Innovative Higher Education, which brought together the heads of universities from over thirty countries, along with other prominent men and women concerned with higher education, to share information on education innovation and change. Much more than simply a conference report, the book addresses the fundamental issues of change in higher education and how change works and where it is leading and looks at the ways in which innovations meet changing needs.
