Disruptive (Social) Innovation in Higher Education

[Frauke Godat]

An interesting discussion thread from the Social Edge Skoll Foundation forum:

 

This Social Edge chat seeks to explore how social innovation has been translated into action at colleges and universities globally, and why it matters.

• How would you articulate the need for disruptive innovation in higher education?

• What examples have you seen of disruptive (social) innovation in higher education? What are you most proud of on your campus?

• What is the potential impact of higher education embracing social innovation, both as an approach for institutional change and as a methodology for teaching and learning?

• How can social entrepreneur practitioners most effectively partner with institutions of higher education to achieve both transformational social and educational results?

• How will disruptive innovation present itself in similar or different ways in different cultural contexts? What is the global opportunity for social entrepreneurship education?

• In what ways are students driving institutional transformation through demands?
