 n\n\n'The Abundant University – Remaking Higher Education for a Digital Wo
 rld'\n\nOver the past quarter century new digital technologies have transf
 ormed nearly every sector of our economy—in each case creating abundant ac
 cess\, choice\, interactivity and personalization for consumers. The one i
 ndustry remarkably absent from this transformation is higher education. As
  COVID accelerates a long overdue transformation of our market\, and it’s 
 time for us to imagine what abundant access\, choice\, interactivity\, and
  personalization could look like in the context of our business. In this t
 alk I will draw on my prior research into the transformation of the entert
 ainment industry\, and my current research into the delivery of online edu
 cation to address three key questions facing the academy today:\n\n\n	Why d
 o today’s digital technologies threaten to our longstanding business model
 ?\n	How is the transformation of higher education likely to play out in the
  market?\n	What should educational institutions—and IS researchers—do to re
 spond to this opportunity?\n\n
