Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth episode of our “The Edge” series, supported by Salesforce.Org. This series is all about new ways of doing things in Higher Education leadership.
This week, we are talking about all things student experience. In an effort to dispel the myth of the ‘traditional student’ we talk to a range of guests about how Universities are adapting to diverse student needs, what support systems should not be taken for granted, and the dual role of tutor and technology in helping students to achieve.
You can follow the conversation using #EdtechEdge and #edtechpodcast
