The changing roles of higher education:curator, evaluator, connector and analyst
The mission of universities will be changing from gatekeepers of knowledge to curators,
creators, connectors, certifiers and codifiers of knowledge. Due to the global accessibility
and constant increase of information, the post-secondary learner no longer needs a
university to obtain information. Changes have to be made to keep higher education
relevant in the information age. Christenson and Horn (2011) have warned that the current
business model characterizing higher education in America is “at – or even past – its
breaking point”. Challenges come from escalating tuition; declining endowments and
government funding; and the immediate, and often free access to highly credible
information.
