successful people can think back to at least one gifted teacher who changed their lives by doing one or more of these things, it is unlikely that anyone will ever be able to do the same for a software package.

Here, then, it what our crystal ball says about the future of higher education. An increasing share of undergraduate degrees will be earned in well- designed distance-based programs at conventional universities and institutions without walls like the British Open University, and an increasing number of people will bypass college altogether and seek competency-based certification in fields like information technology. Some highly ranked research universities will still teach traditionally and continue to attract undergraduates by virtue of their prestige, serving primary as training grounds for graduate schools. Many of the much greater number of less prestigious universities will try to keep doing business as usual, but having to compete for a shrinking pool of undergraduates will force them to either change their practices or close their doors. And a growing number of universities will systematically incorporate interactive multimedia-based instructional software in their live classroom-based courses, making sure that the courses are taught by professors who sever as true mentors to their students and not just transmitters of information. These universities will continue to thrive – and they will provide the best college education.
