The document discusses the concept of "Ne(x)t Generation Universities" and how universities can adapt to new technologies and the internet generation. It notes that while students are often portrayed as internet-savvy due to new technologies, research shows most still do not engage heavily with technologies like blogs, YouTube, etc. It advocates for universities to change their architecture to be more open and distributed, while still emphasizing the importance of physical learning spaces. The key is to leverage new technologies but also train new teachers and students to fully realize the potential of these interactive learning environments.
