The infographic reports that most Americans are not currently pleased with the value of higher education: 57 percent of U.S. adults said that the higher education system fails to provide students with good value for their money. If changes are needed, how much can we expect will change by 2020? The infographic reports that 39 percent of those surveyed believe only modest changes will occur in higher education (defined below in the infographic), while 60 percent believe that substantial change will occur in the next eight years, and that higher education will look much different than it does today.

Do you know the history of social media? Think we'll remember Facebook in 20 years? This detailed timeline is a must-see. Social media began decades before the Facebook era. It started, more or less, with CompuServe and Arpanet back in 1969. A couple years later, the first-ever email was sent. It has evolved over the past few decades into a powerful tool, as seen in this social media history timeline. With so much that’s happened over the past few decades, we can only guess what’s coming next for social media. Via Lauren Moss

While it seems that most faculty have adopted some social media use in their personal life, fewer have done so professionally. And their feelings about using social media professionally (in and out of the classroom) seem to be pretty mixed.
