Our learners and employees will want access to all information/services/applications anywhere/anytime. Our learners and employees will have their own device and expect to use them to do what needs to be done. Learners will want to be able to collaborate with each other, both in the classroom and online. Instructors will want to have a variety of learning approaches available to them: simulations, gaming, collaboration, holography, etc. Most classes will use the web more and more, with the use of inclassroom time changing, and in some cases, decreasing. Our learners and employees will expect support 7x24. Employees will be able to get the reports and analysis they need when they need it There will be a tension between the organizations needs for security and the individuals need to do all of the above

Ensure that NMC learners are prepared for success in a global society and economy.

Establish lifelong relationships with learners. Transcribe most learning to establish credentials of value.

An awareness of the radical transformations that are occurring in higher education and elsewhere A sense that you can make a difference every day A belief that its not about youbut it is A commitment to ask what (else) can I do to help? A tolerance that lets us ask and address hard and uncomfortable issues A recognition that we are doing good work and accomplishing important results An appreciation for all that your colleagues and our communities do to help our learners succeed
