The future of work is radically changing - does the future of higher ed need to change to prepare for it? Ed Fidoe @school21 and @carlgomb @UCL think so: They are founding a new university @weareLIS in UK based on interdisciplinarity (it’s a word) https://qz.com/1781574/ via @qz

Q at the heart of it s: is uni worth it? V imp for health, wealth and happiness but also, very £ and in the UK, very narrow.

Will it work? Lots of hurdles. The university wanted to open in 2020 but did not get regulatory approval. Aiming for 2021. Faculty have flocked to sign up (>600 applications for first 6 spots), student interest: 300 kids applied for 100 places

It captures the zeitgeist (21st century skills!) but also acknowledges false dichotomies in ed: students need skills AND knowledge, student agency is important BUT professors should design curriculum; employers have insights but should not be in charge of education.

Big q: Will it be rigorous enough? @carlgomb says yes. “It’s academics who think you need 24 modules in one discipline to be a proper graduate. Kids are like, ‘not so much, I will take what I need but complement it and enrich it’.“
