The Rise of the SuperProfessor | World Future Society - 1 views

Professors are also being left out of marketing decisions, personal branding campaigns, and how the intellectual capital of their life’s work get’s disseminated.
-
In addition to academic prowess, future SuperProfessors will be ranked according to attributes like influence, fame, clout, and name recognition. Future criteria for winning the FacultyRow SuperProfessor designation will likely include benchmarks for the size of social networks, industry influencer rankings, and gauges for measuring effectiveness of personal branding campaigns.

Currently we are seeing a tremendous duplication of effort. Entry-level courses such as psychology 101, economics 101, and accounting 101 are being taught simultaneously by thousands of professors around the globe. Once a high profile SuperProfessor and brand name University produces one of these courses, what’s the value of a mid-tier school and little-known teacher also creating the same course? As Ball Corporation executive, Drew Crouch puts it, “Education is definitely moving from a history of scarcity to a future of abundance. Just like Gutenberg freed the written word, the Internet has freed information.”

This seems stuck in the notion of the 'course' as a transferrable, replicable unit of education, without acknowledging all kinds of educational interactions that happen around courses, in one-on-one conversation etc. If a course is a knowledge dump, then it can be replaced with recorded equivalents, it seems to me. But if it is an interactive experience, a conversation among learners with the instructor as lead/expert learner, then reproducing it on a mass scale simply won't work.

“Knowledge is now fast becoming the one factor of production, sidelining both capital and labor. It may be premature (and certainly would be presumptuous) to call ours a ‘knowledge society’— so far we only have a knowledge economy. But our society is surely ‘post-capitalist’” (Drucker in Neef, 1998).

Anyway, we are transitioning from a knowledge economy to a knowledge society where human capital is measured by ____________ ???

We are transitioning from a knowledge as something one owns to knowledge as something one finds kinda culture. Capital is measured by how fast one kind find what one needs.

Princeton has found that the iPad has a DHCP malfunction where the device has been leasing an IP address on the wireless network and failing to renew the lease at the prompted interval, thus creating network issues [http://www.net.princeton.edu/announcements/ipad-iphoneos32-stops-renewing-lease-keeps-using-IP-address.html - 4/19/2010]. These network issues will continue to appear as companies continue to release products at a pace that testing and network scalability will not be able to match.
