Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.
–The Chronicle of Higher Education
One of the most creative and perceptive people in higher education today!
Is @BryanAlexander a wizard because he wrote about the possibility of a pandemic in 2018? He says he has a beard like one.
“Hardest working man in edtech!”
Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.

When @BryanAlexander is futuring about you, you’d better start futuring yer own dang self!
Your prescience is wild.
[F]uturist and higher-ed guru Bryan Alexander…
