HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE ERA OF THE FOURTH INDUS...

This open access collection examines how higher education responds to the demands of the
automation economy and the fourth industrial revolution. Considering significant trends in how
people are learning  coupled with the ways in which different higher education institutions and
education stakeholders are implementing adaptations  it looks at new programs and technological
advances that are changing how and why we teach and learn. The book addresses trends in liberal
arts integration of STEM innovations  the changing role of libraries in the digital age  global
trends in youth mobility  and the development of lifelong learning programs. This is coupled
with case study assessments of the various ways China  Singapore  South Africa and Costa Rica
are preparing their populations for significant shifts in labour market demands - shifts that
are already underway. Offering examples of new frameworks in which collaboration between
government  industry  and higher education institutions can prevent lagging behind in this fast
changing environment  this book is a key read for anyone wanting to understand how the world
should respond to the radical technological shifts underway on the frontline of higher
education.
