When they want, where they want, and how they want

Self-directed
Collaborative

Problem solving

Hyper-individualized

Engages students where they are at

Breaks down walls

“In 100 years, higher education will be global — literally. Due to the ease and availability of traveling at the speed of light, colleges and universities will hold classes worldwide. A student can pop into their 8 a.m. Introduction to Spanish class in Madrid and then head over to Shanghai for their 10 a.m. course, Chinese History: From Mao to Now.” – Matthew Haubenstein, senior communications major at Saint Joseph’s University (SJU)

“In 100 years, students will live in the moment — and experience many past moments. Why? Two words: time travel. Students in history classes will rocket back to the periods or events they are studying. They can enjoy a front-row seat for the first staging of a Shakespeare play, check out the Civil War (from a safe distance) or relive the making of the Hoover Dam or Panama Canal. The hands-on understanding they will gain about the related individuals, events and issues will make professors’ PowerPoints or Prezis seem embarrassingly out of touch.” –Jessica Sweeney, senior English major at SJU
