The prospect of how students will engage and navigate their campus lives in the next few years is intriguing.

While I titled it “Intelligent Students of Tomorrow,” the reality is that “tomorrow” is now present, but the scenario presented in the diagram will become more common.
What’s your vision for tomorrow, and how will students use technology?
