Robot-Proof: Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
by Joseph Aoun, 2017

Written by the president of Northeastern University, this short book makes numerous suggestions for crafting successful universities in the near-future. As more jobs become automated and skill upgrades become more frequent for workers, universities need to adapt. The whole book is worthwhile and suggested. Here are two suggestions I particularly like:

-Include experiential learning in classes, and focus on technological literacy, data literacy, and human literacy. Core cognitive capacities should include critical thinking, systems thinking, cultural agility, and entrepreneurship.

-In focusing on lifelong learning, allow students to build custom degrees/certificates, taking only the classes most relevant to their personal situation and goals. One possibility to promote lifelong learning would be to create a subscription model in which students can take X classes per semester/year as they move forward in their career.
