Consider . . .  In fall 2020, UNCs Provost
Bell creates an ad hoc faculty committee to
formulate recommendations about the future of
undergraduate education at UNC, focusing both on
the curriculum and the desired methods of
delivery. The study begins by examining the role
educational technology played in transforming
undergraduate education at UNC in the early part
of the 21st century.

Consider In 2025, The Center for History of
Physics at the American Institute of Physics
undertakes a comprehensive study of the teaching
of physics in American higher education. Their
goal is to assess the changing teaching methods
and technologies that have been utilized.
5
In 2020 or 2025 what evidence would researchers
find to provide the information they seek? What
evidence would they hope to find? Can we ensure
that an adequate documentary record will exist to
answer these and so many other questions that
have not yet been asked?
