May 5, 2021Roundtable Discussion with Parke Rhoads of Vantage
Parke Rhoads, Principal of Vantage Technology Consulting Group led our committee meeting discussion on the topic of “Technology, Futurism, and the Learning Experience in 2030”
The two articles (links below) synthesize both the broad over-arching (e.g. institution-wide) and “in-the-trenches” classroom (e.g. instructor and learner specific) perspectives for how our experience with technology during the pandemic may transform the design of the learning environment in the future. The two articles we shared in advance of our meeting and guided the discussion around the following themes:
- The Disruption-Adaptation Model (React, Survive, Innovate): Case studies into stories from the frontlines of academic technology
- Futurism: The themes and forces will factor into the next horizons, and how these factors may forecast the learning experience of 2030
- Experience Design: What new tools and stakeholders are coming to the rescue, and how the professional designer could leverage these to lead the innovation

Architecture for Education
The AIANY Architecture for Education Committee is the local affiliate of AIA National’s CAE. The committee provides and organizes events where architects, educators, educational administrators, and the public can meet and exchange ideas to promote better educational facilities of all kinds. We provide opportunities where the design community can meet the people who administrate the various agencies that control design and construction budgets and discuss mutual concerns and interests. Our goals include maintaining ties to other committees and affiliated organizations for events of mutual interest at both the local and national level. Our meetings are free and open to all.
