In 1988, I wrote The Meaning of General Education (Teachers College Press), a history of innovations in the general education curriculum as U.S. institutions responded to the impact of the industrial revolution in the 20th century. Much has happened in the intervening 3+ decades as the Information Revolution matured, creating a new context—whether you call it the global information society or the fourth industrial revolution – in which we need to consider freshly the role of general education. I have written a couple of blog posts about the issue over the past couple of years. Now, I’ve written an expanded piece on the role of general education in this new environment in a free ebook. It is available here.
Please take a look and share your thoughts.
