What is SCUP’s Trends Report?
We’ve done the scanning so you can do the planning.
Each issue includes 40-50 trends collected by scanning a wide range of sources and identifying significant trends and movements both inside and outside of higher education.
Each trend includes a brief summary, a footnoted source, and questions to help you and your team analyze and act on the trend.
Example:
Trends is Organized Using STEEP:
Social How people think, behave, and interact, including beliefs, values, culture, and lifestyle Technology How people use technology (including hardware and software), how society relies on technology, and how technology affects society Economic Macro- or microeconomics, including global trends, anything related to jobs and skills needed for jobs, and industry shifts Environmental Our external surroundings, including sustainability and our evolving workplaces, cities, and living spaces Political Public policy, governmental systems, the people within them, and the effects of government decisions on our citizens and communities About the Trends Author
