| Description: | Faced with competition from a variety of technology facilitated options for learning, 21st Century universities are exploring increased adoption of nontraditional roles including technology transfer, economic development initiatives, and provision of training, and education for maintenance of professional expertise. They have become drivers of innovation in their immediate locales as well as virtually in terms of dissemination of knowledge. These strengths represent untapped opportunities to collaborate with other actors across institutional boundaries, leveraging sector strengths. While universities are well suited to satisfy the needs of new markets for knowledge competencies, they must embrace innovative options to successfully exploit these advantages. |
