- At a macro-level? I honestly do not know if it will at least in my life-time. And, if it does, it won't be due to higher education being proactive. What I can say is that I have a number of colleagues who are doing all paper and pen, in-class assessment. But this will not work for all disciplines.

- I agree that those who want to learn will learn. And for these individuals, generic higher education isn't that valuable anyway. However, I am a bit pessimistic about the number that represents, on the whole.

And, short-term goals and constraints can undermine these individuals. As with most things, the problem isn't with the thing but with the humans who wield it.
