In this final episode of our ‘The Edge: Innovation and Intelligence Imperative’ series, we celebrate “Change-Makers in Higher Ed”, speaking to three leaders who have worked to implement new ways of doing things in their own University communities.
In this episode we pick apart University and Industry, exploring learning economics in an age of perpetual upskilling, the unique strengths of University and Industry respectively, and to what extent established Universities are limited by how they can evolve through regulation and red tape.
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.
In our final #EdTechEdge episode of 2019, we ask Vice-chancellors and Presidents of Universities what their top concerns were in 2019, what they see coming online in 2025 and beyond, and the role of technology in solving some of higher education’s challenges. You’ll hear about Brexit and International Academic Relations, University and perceived value, Funding and Mental Health and Wellbeing, and the online and physical campus.
This week’s episode is all about Data. We’re in a LIVE discussion with University leaders covering the role of data in teaching, research and student support. We look at how data can be an impetus to positive change, what data blind spots to avoid, and how to make sure that you are asking the right questions to get the best from data.
This week, we look at Equity, Equality & Diversity in Higher Ed Leadership in the second episode of our “The Edge” series, supported by Salesforce.Org. We delve into inclusive models of leadership, the role of digital in supporting or aggravating existing inequities in leadership, and what current leaders think will change the dial-in diversity in Higher Education at the top, to the benefit of the sector.
We talk about trust in a mistrustful time. Plus, How can new and old(er) Universities leapfrog legacy issues? Why is digital marketing and admissions not always about volume but about curating the right cohort of future leaders? How can the cultures of academia and new agile methodologies be reconciled? All this and more in this week’s episode! Plus, some practical suggestions from our guests that you can implement today.
