			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>A few weeks ago I gave a talk called <a href="http://blogs.omnium.net.au/main/2008/07/23/the-future-isnt-what-it-used-to-be/">The Future Isn&#8217;t What It Used To Be</a> to the Associate Deans over at <a href="http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/">Northumbria University</a>. I thought I&#8217;d blogged about it with the podcast of the recording I made there, but it seems I forgot. </p>

<p>In the talk I wanted to draw together some emerging and converging trends, which, if they do all happen at once, could really turn higher education on its head. If you mix in some of the other threats such as an aging population and the <a href="http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/news/story/0,,2289878,00.html">subsequent fall in student numbers</a> it becomes clear that a radical re-think is necessary.</p>

<p>Rather than double-post, I
ll point you to where I posted it over at the <a href="http://blogs.omnium.net.au/main/2008/07/23/the-future-isnt-what-it-used-to-be">Omnium blog</a> where there is a <a href="http://www.polaine.com/playpen/podcasts/apolaine_northumbria_adday.mp3" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-821];player=flv;width=500;height=0;">direct download</a>, <a href="http://www.polaine.com/playpen/podcasts/apolaine_northumbria_adday.pdf">slides</a> and a embedded player version of it.</p>
