    This chapter discusses the historical growth of higher education in Europe from World War II (WWII) to the present. The author believes that WWII was a watershed moment for higher education (social and economic reform). The period directly following WWII was filled with unprecedented growth and expansion of higher education. Cooperman believes the current expansion of access to education, through technology, should be similar to the post-WWII growth of higher education. Cooperman poses three necessary forms of higher education: elite/ruling class; masses/vocational technical training; and universal/social technological education. Each of these forms serve a unique and necessary function in the provision of higher education to the largest audience. In the current day, within all of these forms, there is the need to discuss and address how technology can effectively be implemented. Implementation of technology within each of these forms will take time to transition curriculum, change expectations, and obtain results.
