The bundle gets a bad rap.  Want to look smart the next time you are on stage participating in another academic panel of dubious value.  Just say something like “the future of higher ed is unbundling”. Trust me, nobody will argue with you.  I know, as “unbundling” is one of my panel go to catch phrases when I can’t think of something actually smart to say about higher education.

But maybe those in the room should argue with the pro-unbundlers.

The higher education green paper is a radical document, explicitly designed to change universities. But beyond the debates about metrics, funding structures and social mobility is a far more fundamental reframing – of the very concept of higher education.

Fractals are varied, but the self-similar patterns such as the Mandelbrot Set replicate their patterns at every iteration, perfectly repeating themselves almost to infinity. Essentially fractals represent recursive mathematical equations, but don't ask me to explain exactly how they work - I'm not a mathematician. The important point here is that they continually repeat themselves, with no deviation from the original. And some education is similar in nature.

The purpose of education

If our students leave school with a belief in their ability and capacity to identify problems and find solution to them, then maybe they are prepared not only for what ever the future may bring but possess the capacity to shape that future.
