The document discusses the future of community-based services and education for seniors over the next 15 years. It predicts that the senior population will be the largest and most diverse in history. This cohort will be more active, educated, and digitally savvy than previous generations. Both public and private sectors will need to adapt to serve this population better. Congress may update legislation and community organizations should attract senior talent. Education programs must meet the needs of this demographic. Diversity in education promotes inclusion and benefits communities. Maintaining quality standards, especially for online learning, is important for the future.

Conversation About Educational Opportunity in The United Statesnoblex1
It's no secret that a debate rages across the United States about access, diversity, and affirmative action. Part of this debate involves anxiety about college costs and price. Part revolves around the nation's need to retool itself and upgrade the skills of its human resources to meet the demands of a globally competitive economy. But a major part of the debate has made university admissions policies a kind of academic, ideological, and cultural battleground in which we are asked to perform a sorting function for the larger society.
All of these are troubling and difficult issues. Before taking them up, we want to make several general observations about the nature of the access problem:
1. Access to our institutions will become one of the defining domestic policy issues in coming years. It is already on the public agenda; it will become even more urgent as we move on.
We must understand that the nature of the access discussion will change dramatically. For our institutions, the issues are profound. It is not simply a problem of fairness or even the distribution of limited resources. What is at stake is our very role as public universities: our institutions will find it harder to sustain themselves as a public enterprise, dependent on public support, if all elements of our society do not believe they benefit from them. Broadening access is the right thing to do in the name of fairness, and it is the right thing to do for the good of the United States.
2. We are among world leaders in providing postsecondary access, but we do not hold the top spot.
3. Some of our flagship institutions are trapped in a zero-sum game in which they are unable to offer admission to all qualified students. Public officials and our institutions must somehow find the will to provide all students with the educational opportunities for which they have prepared themselves.
In most states, the problem is not access to the system, it is access to the most prominent and desirable institutions. Public funds virtually everywhere support the opportunity to pursue an academic degree. Students enjoy many options. But access to a community college, a technical institute, or even to some baccalaureate institutions, does not always ensure access to all the possibilities available at a great public research university.
4. Our traditional concepts of access need to be rethought for the future.
A new form of teaching and learning enterprise is already being created, one that emphasizes distributed learning centers, the use of technology for distance learning, and new methods of assessing and demonstrating competency. If we don't define and shape these enterprises, they may well overwhelm us.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Future of
Community-
Based Services
and Education
2. Where will we be 15 years from now?
US senior population will be the largest
in history
It will be one of the most diverse in the
world
The members of this senior cohort:
Will have a longer lifer expectancy than past
senior populations
Will stay active longer and more engaged in
the community
Will have one of the highest literacy level in
history
Will be the first senior population in history
savvy in digital media
Will continue to work and learn well
into retirement
3. Response of the Public and Private Sector
Congress will have to amend, adapt, add or
change the legislation of the Older
American Act of 1965 to keep up with the
change of times.
Community-based businesses, who want to
remain competitive on the market, will
have to take advantage of the professional
and life experience of the seniors. They will
have to be flexible and recruitment savvy if
they want to attract senior talent.
Education institutions will have to offer
programs based on: the demographic make
up of the elderly cohort; the economic
reality of these seniors; employment
opportunities for the low-income ones;
other needs and desires of the still active or
retired seniors.
4. Funds Resources
Federal funding is guaranteed by
the OAA:
Supportive Services and Senior Centers (Title III-B)
Nutrition Services (Title III-C)
National Family Caregiver Support Program (Title
III-E)
Senior Community Service Employment Program
(Title V, SCSEP)
Examples of Federal Grants:
The Foster Grandparent Program
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program
Capital Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and
Persons with Disabilities
Mortgage Insurance-Rental Housing for the Elderly
5. Funds Resources (continuation)
Private funding is done
through foundations,
grants, fund raising
events.
Examples of private
grants:
The AARP Foundation
The Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation
The MetLife Foundation
The Henry and Jeannette
Weinberg Foundation, Inc.
6. Promoting and Valuing Diversity
1. Distance learning is
ideally suited to include all
segments of population:
“Distance learning not only
has the potential to promote
community building and cooperation
among students, it also allows for
considerable diversity. Disabilities or
family commitments, for example, that
might prohibit campus attendance can
be overcome in the online
environment.” (Schneider et all, 1997).
7. Promoting and Valuing Diversity
2. All inclusive policy
should be the norm for
adult education
institutions:
“The recommendation for
curriculum developers is to
incorporate the cultural
knowledge of adult learners so as
not to marginalize them from the
subject matter and thus to foster a
more inclusive,
democratic learning environment.
” (Kubow, 2009)
8. Promoting and Valuing Diversity
3. Diversity - promotes
community well being,
community economic
growth and financial
growth of learning
institutions, by an
increase in student
enrollment.
9. The quality of future education and the law
1. Community Higher
Education institutions
have to keep on
maintaining high
standards for the future
in order to maintain
their validity. This is
true especially for
distance education.
10. The quality of future education and the law
2. President Obama’s
FY2013 budget proposes
a new $1 billion
competitive fund to
increase the number of
high-quality career
academies across the
country (Federal Adult
Education, 2013)
11. The quality of future education and the law
3.“Online education
provides the best
prospect for the
future of HE as long
as the following
barriers are conceded
and addressed:
methods of faculty
assessment and
course design” (Nash,
2015)

Editor's Notes
The continuing funding of Federal Grants will be ensured through appropriate legislation
Historically, private foundations have been able to successfully manage their assets, and as a consequence many donated more than the 5% required by the IRS. It is expected the same in the near future.
