The document discusses suggestions for reforming higher education from a New York Times article and ideas from Hyper Island on how to train the next generation of creative talent. [1] The New York Times article proposes six major steps to make higher education more adaptive, such as restructuring curriculums and abolishing tenure. [2] Hyper Island then provides their own suggestions, which include rewriting the curriculum biweekly, focusing on problem-based learning with real cases, and having one-third of the program as internships. [3] They suggest that their method does not involve traditional aspects like books, classrooms, teachers or homework.
