This paper explores a strategic framework to navigate a society in cons...

The future is not pre-designed. Rather, it is conversed and created as we go along. Recognizing this, John Moravec and Ronald van den Hoff engage in an imagined conversation on their ideas about “higher education 3.0†and how their visions for the 3.0 world are being actualized.
