• The future -- from business as usual to the radical cyber dystopia and
educational anarchy to a quantum leap (Sener; Calongne)
• Findings: degrees are not going away, credit hour pricing model is a barrier
to modularized learning, learning management systems need to adapt to
integrate modern technologies and fast growth requires a stabilizing
influence
