The 60-Year Curriculum explores models and strategies for lifelong
learning in an era of profound economic disruption and reinvention. Over
the next half-century, globalization, regional threats to
sustainability, climate change, and technologies such as artificial
intelligence and data mining will transform our education and workforce
sectors. In turn, higher education must shift to offer every student
life-wide opportunities for the continuous upskilling they will need to
achieve decades of worthwhile employability. This cutting-edge book
describes the evolution of new models-covering computer science,
inclusive design, critical thinking, civics, and more-by which
universities can increase learners' trajectories across multiple careers
from mid-adolescence to retirement. Stakeholders in workforce
development, curriculum and instructional design, lifelong learning, and
higher and continuing education will find a unique synthesis offering
valuable insights and actionable next steps.
