This session will present an overview of higher education as it currently stands, and seek an ideal vision of higher education informed by the pursuit of social justice. The assertion that a college education is a right, and as such must be made available and affordable to all citizens, brings with it a host of assumptions, questions and dilemmas ranging from technology accessibility to the underlying motives behind the growing debate over free versus open resources.
The influences of technology and the open education movement will be presented, and participants will be invited to share their own thoughts on how issues related to technology and social justice will shape the future of higher education.
