Smartphone learning apps, social networking among professors and students, immersive engagement in virtual worlds, and even games are remaking the campus experience."

New Book by Dr. Tracey Wilen-Daugenti

Society 3.0 explains how Americans will live, learn, work, and connect in the years ahead.

Families, work, and society are undergoing revolutionary change. To develop an adaptive 21st-century workforce, educators must understand and respond to these changes. In her new book, Society 3.0: How Technology Is Reshaping Education, Work and Society, Dr. Tracey Wilen-Daugenti, Vice President and Managing Director of Apollo Research Institute, provides higher education and industry stakeholders a guide for understanding the emerging societal forces shaping the future.

Forces Challenging and Changing Higher Education

Evolving family structures, new ways of balancing work and personal lives, and rapid technological advancements are transforming how colleges and universities must develop well-educated, career-oriented citizens.

• A wider range of family members, not just older children, now attend college, a decision that shapes—and is shaped by—21st-century demographics.
• Older students, recognizing degrees as vital for competing in the global workforce, now outnumber those entering school before starting careers.
• Today’s workers are increasingly likely to be women, working outside the home or self-employed, or applying their education to innovation and entrepreneurship as small business owners.
• Technology is remaking the campus experience via smartphone learning apps, social networking among professors and students, and immersive engagement in virtual worlds—and even games.

Society 3.0 helps higher education providers and industry leaders understand  potentially disruptive societal forces and design appropriate programs and career paths for tomorrow’s workers.

Society 3.0 is available on Amazon.com and PeterLang.com.
