These can be quite helpful in getting a sense of the range of (often quite informed) opinion on the issues. Not surprisingly, there's a lot of emphasis on the role of the Internet and of technologies broadly. The announcement and pointers to the report both online and in downloadable PDF are at: http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/Future-of-Higher-Education.aspx Clifford Lynch Director, CNI
