📚 Education is the foundation of societal progress and economic growth. Yet, we must ask ourselves: are we truly equipping children to navigate and succeed in the challenges of tomorrow? At Bett Global 2025, I’ll be sharing the vision behind Lamsa | لمسة—a scalable, data-driven platform designed to bridge the gap between today’s learning models and the economic needs of the future. This is a call to action: let’s embrace the possibilities of AI and innovation. Change isn’t something to fear—it’s an opportunity to create a more equitable and dynamic world. By democratizing access to high-quality early childhood education, we can ensure every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the tools to thrive. Let’s work together to design an education system that doesn’t just respond to the present but anticipates and shapes the future. Join me at BETT 2025 as we explore how to make this vision a reality.

🌟 Empowering Minds, Transforming Futures 🌟   It was great to volunteer as a speaker assistant at Canadian Association of College and University Student Services Conference 2024: Supporting Our Students; Sustaining Ourselves.   The conference dived into how we can advocate for change for both our students and ourselves. It explored ways to transition from just sustaining to truly thriving, and shared practical strategies to strengthen and nourish our work and our teams. It’s all about advocating for students, providing holistic support, and honoring their diverse identities and perspectives. It was great to join this virtual gathering, engage in meaningful discussions, and learn from our incredible community. 📚 The insightful sessions I assisted with were:   AI Tutor for Higher Education: What could it do, how it can help, and why would I want to deploy one – Robert W.   The Counsellors’ Guide to Sleep Health – Cliff Robinson & Shyann Vosper   What’s Happening?! How Top Institutions are Avoiding Burn-Out and Managing Events & Campus-Wide Calendars for Increased Student Engagement & Success – Madeline Hauck   Great work CACUSS Team!

Collaboration between universities and local authorities is key to unlocking the potential of the creative economy. The Narrating Creative Regions symposium, hosted by Southampton Solent University, brought together regional partners to explore how devolution can drive growth and innovation. With contributions from universities across the region and a dynamic workshop facilitated by Simon Brooks (University of Portsmouth), the event laid out concrete steps for stronger partnerships.

I've teamed up with The Class Foundation to help bring 'The Class Conference: The Next Chapter' to life in #Manchester on 13 & 14 November! 🕺 Europe's annual leading student living conference will act as a catalyst to collectively reimagine and shape the sector for the next decade. We're bringing together experts from #PBSA, city government and universities to co-create a collective action plan to guide meaningful change and impact. We have created a groundbreaking programme for The Next Chapter, centered on the following themes: 🏨 Availability: increasing housing supply across the board 🔑 Accessibility: ensuring access to student living for all students 🧘♀️ Experience: enhancing the student experience, improving well-being 🤝 Collaboration: public private partnerships to action the above These themes challenge the status quo of the #student #living sector and are at the forefront of industry transformation.

📘 The role of education in driving societal and economic advancement cannot be overstated. We must consider whether our current educational methods adequately prepare our children for future challenges. Join us at BETT 2025 where we'll unveil how Lamsa is leveraging a scalable, data-centric platform to align current educational practices with future economic demands. 📚 We invite you to embrace the future with us through AI and innovative solutions. Change represents a chance to build a more just and vibrant society. By providing all children with access to superior early childhood education, we empower them to excel no matter their starting point. Together, we can craft an educational framework that not only meets today's needs but also sets the foundation for tomorrow. Come to BETT 2025 to discover how we can turn this blueprint into reality.If you are in London and attending BETT - Come join the conversation!

My personal favorite section from this article: "A pivotal year for AI regulation: Expect to see new frameworks with the intent to protect intellectual property and academic integrity. While we haven’t yet scratched the surface of AI’s full capabilities, I believe regulation will soon get us closer to addressing the need for pertinent guardrails around AI, while balancing both innovation and protections. Classrooms go immersive: AI is progressing at a remarkable rate, moving from structured text analysis to unstructured data, video, audio, and immersive AR/VR experiences. For higher education, this creates opportunities to expand teaching methods, particularly in vocational fields. Imagine learning trades through VR, allowing students to practice hands-on skills virtually. Institutions can redefine “classroom learning” and broaden their curriculums like never before. Change management takes center stage: Incorporating AI isn’t just about adopting new tools–it requires a comprehensive shift in how institutions operate. As universities integrate AI tools such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, they face a steep change management curve, one that necessitates both structural shifts and cultural buy-in. Soft skills to shine in the age of AI: As AI becomes ubiquitous, the importance of soft and transferable skills are again having their day in the sun. Understanding how to leverage AI tools will be essential for students to stay competitive in the job market, but communication, adaptability, leadership, and critical thinking are needed to work effectively within the teams that use these technologies. These skills aren’t going anywhere and will arguably become more important as AI revolutionizes how we live and work." —Bruce Dahlgren, CEO, Anthology

Really excited to share that our project "Harnessing Global Standards for Technological Leadership" led with my collaborators Dr John Moffat (Durham University Business School) and Dr Xin Deng (Alliance Manchester Business School), has been funded by the Innovation & Research Caucus. We are pleased to join a group of wonderful research teams to contribute to the UK innovation and research ecosystem and governance. 🚀  Our project tackles the critical issue of business leadership and power in setting global technology #standards (e.g., AI, semiconductors, 5G and IoT). These standards are vital for driving innovation, ensuring compatibility and staying competitive globally. A big thank you to the Innovation & Research Caucus, ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council, Innovate UK and UKRI for supporting this initiative. 🔗 Announcement here: https://lnkd.in/eG_acaDP #GlobalStandards #TechnologyLeadership #UKInnovation

Our CEO, Bruce Dahlgren, shared insights on where higher education is headed in 2025. As institutions navigate enrollment shifts, policy changes, and the demand for flexible, student-centric approaches, see how Anthology remains at the forefront of innovation: https://ow.ly/jVJK50UC3Zz #HigherEd #EdTech #InnovationInEducation #FutureOfEducation

When states establish a strategic vision for innovation and R&D in education, they can dramatically improve student engagement and outcomes. While there are pockets of innovation across the country, strengthening the education R&D infrastructure can provide systemic solutions to the biggest challenges states are tackling. Thank you @Education Reimagined, @Transcend, and the @Alliance for Learning Innovation for their new brief on how R&D across systems can be a powerful force for modernizing education. I particularly love how this work brings together both (1) infrastructure needs for strong state R&D (e.g., modernized SLDS; technical assistance; networks) and (2) the conditions needed for strong state R&D (e.g., dedicated R&D leadership; empowered local leaders; mindset shifts). We can't realize the full potential of a state education R&D system without attending to both! https://lnkd.in/gDhHAPAc #educationresearch #innovation #edtech
