Society, Information Technology and the Global University
Part II
Chapter 9
The modern global university is not a passive observer of technological change but an active participant and leader in the information society.
Driving innovation: Universities are major hubs for technological innovation, conducting research and development that creates new IT and its applications.
Guiding social discourse: Through interdisciplinary research and public forums, universities promote critical thinking and inform public discourse on the benefits and risks of emerging technologies.
Developing global citizens: By incorporating IT and global studies into their curricula, universities prepare students to be informed and engaged citizens of an interconnected world, ready to tackle complex challenges.
Promoting social equity: Global universities work to ensure that the benefits of IT are shared more equitably, addressing the digital divide and advocating for inclusive policies.
World University and School, and The Global University
What is the global university, broadly conceived?
How did it develop?
Who created it?
What is its history?
What has been its geography?
What has been the process of diffusion into the economy and society?
How and why did The Global University take shape?
A global university, broadly conceived, is a higher education institution that operates on an international scale, transcending national borders in its mission, operations, and impact. Unlike traditional universities that are primarily rooted in a single geographic location, a global university's value is derived from its ability to serve a worldwide community and address global challenges. This concept can manifest in several ways:
Global Presence: The university has a physical presence with campuses or research centers in multiple countries, like a global network university.
Transnational Market: It operates within a globalized marketplace for students, faculty, and knowledge, drawing talent and research from around the world.
Relational Focus: It prioritizes authentic relationships and collaborations with other institutions and stakeholders globally to create unique and compelling value.
Global Mission: The curriculum and research focus on solving complex global issues, such as climate change, sustainability, and public health, preparing students to be global citizens.
World University and School
World University and School (WUaS) fits this concept by embracing a decentralized and free-to-students model, aiming to provide accredited online degrees to people in all countries. Its mission is to offer free education and training through a global, digital, and open platform. Instead of physical campuses, it leverages open-source educational resources, such as those from MIT's OpenCourseWare and Wikipedia, to create an accessible learning environment for underserved communities worldwide.
