The EvoLLLution® is an online publication created by and for those who understand the challenges and opportunities in higher education best. We publish articles and interviews featuring insights and opinions from professionals across the postsecondary education landscape, focusing on the future of the industry.

As individuals worldwide retool, reorganize, and rethink their digital transformation, the true innovators in postsecondary education have long worked independently, often in silos. The EvoLLLution bridges this gap, providing a platform for sharing challenges, best practices, and innovative ideas.

With over 60,000 monthly visitors, The EvoLLLution is the go-to source for expert opinions and information on higher education, including non-traditional formats. What sets us apart is our unique approach: we don't have a staff of reporters or writers. Instead, we collaborate with over 2,500 content contributors who are actively driving digital transformation within their institutions. These contributors include college deans, state system presidents, working adults, hiring managers, government officials, and many others. Our contributors write their own articles, ensuring that the content on The EvoLLLution is always unfiltered and directly from the experts.

We invite you to explore and enjoy the content on The EvoLLLution. Don't forget to subscribe to our weekly newsletter. If this is your first time visiting, please check out our Start Here page to get a comprehensive overview of the content we offer.

Our Mission

To unite the lifelong learning community to provoke ideas, re-imagine education, inspire collaboration and create action to lead the transformative change in higher education and meet the needs of the modern learner. 

Our Guiding Principles

  • The traditional higher education model does not meet the needs of today’s society, meaning we must rethink its identity.
  • For better or worse, competition and commoditization are key contributors to the evolving higher education landscape.
  • Technology is central to change at all levels of higher education.
  • Many of the most forward-thinking innovations and ideas in higher education have — and will continue to — come from divisions that serve non-traditional students.
  • Efficient business practices are essential for successful higher education management.
  • We use the term ‘non-traditional’ because it is widely understood. However, we hesitate to define this group by what they are not because ‘non-traditional’ practices and policies embody the future of higher ed.
  • All of our content comes from individuals active in the higher education field because the people on the ground are the people who know best.
  • While The EvoLLLution has a distinct perspective, we know that a well-rounded discussion needs numerous viewpoints. Therefore, we strive to provide a supportive platform for contributors to share their stories, opinions and experiences.
