The Unmudl Model

The community college Futures Innovation Lab identified five future forces that have driven the design of the Unmudl Model

    Seamless Futures

    The most successful education providers will be the ones who seamlessly fuse the physical infrastructure with the convenience of digital in connected colleges, allowing  learners to channel-hop without friction. The future is about joining the numerous dots that constitute the learner journey.

    Instant Futures

    Learners no longer desire to follow any single fixed path for learning. Their  education journey might start with a click on a website and end with an in-college experience, or begin as window shopping at a campus and end at home with an online purchase. A learner experience where the educational purchasing process is fluid, familiar, and frictionless is the goal.

    Equitable Futures

    The Unmudl population is aimed at individuals who typically have no degree or other credential and have not had equitable education and career opportunities.

    Sustainable Futures

    Revenue generation is a must. Community colleges must take their place and command the space to deliver skills, particularly hands-on skills.

    Collaborative Futures

    Simply being interconnected or part of a network does not guarantee collaborational though it is an important first step. Collaboration will be needed among community colleges  ─ to be able to work together to create and achieve the same goals.
