of EU Higher Education
EDEN 2015 – Barcelona, June 10th, 2015
Xavier PRATS MONNÉ Director-General for Education and Culture European Commission
Paradise on Earth or fad?
"Books will soon be obsolete in schools. It is possible to teach every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture".Thomas Edison, 1913
"Television won’t last more than six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.” Darryl Zanuck 20th Century Fox, 1946
Demography, globalisation and technology will transform:
The global distribution of talent
The way we teach and learn
The roles: Teacher vs researcher
The times: Degree vs lifetime subscription
The content: Books vs blended learning
Technology is deconstructing education…
Knowledge is created by flexible, collaborative networks working in unstable environments…
…but most education institutions are organised vertically, by department and discipline, and are highly regulated…
…so the main challenge is not to modernise pedagogies but public administrations.
…but the real change is in the nature of knowledge
