Description
Design for Change in Higher Education by Jeffrey T. Grabill, Sarah Gretter and Erik Skogsberg is a timely exploration of how universities can adapt to meet the challenges of the future. As higher education faces significant pressures, including demographic change, cost pressures and the impact of technological advancements, it's clear that traditional approaches are no longer sufficient. The authors argue that design should become a core competency of universities, enabling them to imagine and create new institutional forms. This book presents a practical approach to designing change in higher education, drawing on the experience of Michigan State University's Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology. Through case studies of design practice, the authors build a framework for design theory that can be applied to real-world challenges. By examining successful design initiatives and exploring the principles behind them, this book provides valuable insights for those seeking to drive positive change in higher education.
