“UNIVERSITIES OF INFORMATION AGE ARE VERY DIFFERENT”

Öztaş stating that the transformations experienced at the point higher education came are very impressive, continued as follows:

“There is an important search for how the universities of the future should take a shape, from those who run the Mars program, those who use artificial intelligence for student selection, and those who remove classical textbooks and exams, and those who begin to give a program diploma designed by a student. The university of the information age will be very different from the university of the industrial age with its design, management, academic staff, student, curriculum, measurement, and evaluation methods.”
