Mark Greenfield, a noted higher education web communications expert and speaker, will discuss how higher education is being flattened and what that will mean for the future of education during #CollegeChat on October 18, 2011 at 9 pm Eastern.

According to Greenfield, “Our system of higher education is based on a model that is centuries old. It was built for a world that no longer exists. Change is coming and faster than you think.” During #CollegeChat, Greenfield will discuss with attendees what the “flattening of higher education” will mean including:

  • What the similarities are between the flattening of the business world and the coming flattening of higher education
  • Whether higher education has already reached the tipping point
  • How will stealth fighter parents replace helicopter parents and how will these parents impact higher education
  • How are the explosion of higher education competitors accelerating the flattening of higher education
  • Why is higher education ripe for the unbundling of services and activities
  • What does the future hold for higher education
