Abstract

We summarize the problems and potential solutions put forward in the four articles by the Deans and then offer three lenses to consider as we reimagine the future of IT education and research. These lenses include major disruptions in education that are already emerging, the need to harness the huge, ever, payoff from the rapid, but predictable, growth in information technology, and, what seems likely to be, a painful transition from an economy based largely on labor and material goods to one based on software and information goods.
