This should be a great event. As Times Higher Education set out below, digital transformation isn't restricted to back-end processes or reporting. The organisations that embrace becoming genuinely digital enterprises across all activities are those that will succeed.

Advocating for Education Rights: Urging UNESCO to champion the cause of providing schooling in the first language for more than 20 million Turk people in Iran. Linguistic inclusivity is a fundamental right that fosters cultural diversity and equitable access to education. #EducationForAll #UNESCO #TurkPeopleRights UNESCO United Nations

In 2023, UNESCO has kept the momentum going to transform education globally. From the adoption of a new Recommendation to promote peace, and the entry into force of the Global Convention on Higher Education, to the urgent call to regulate the use of Generative AI in education and galvanizing the global movement to greening education, the Organization sustained its efforts so that education remains at the top of the political agenda by engaging with all stakeholders to turn their commitments into concrete actions. Take a look at some of the highlights of UNESCO’s action in the field of education throughout the year, and let’s continue to work to ensure that education responds to today's greatest challenges: https://lnkd.in/dSFYRTQG #RightToEducation

We were delighted to sponsor the recent Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) Report which explores the impact of technology on universities and students. Edited by Mary Curnock Cook CBE, the collection of essays on educational technology, bring in an array of experts from across the educational landscape. In his chapter on twenty-first century learning, Professor Ian Dunn of Coventry University writes: ‘We need to make the role of technology one of support for the struggle for equity of access and success in education. The amazing possibility to extend great learning opportunities must serve the many, delivering many of the qualities of an elite education for a mass population.’ Technology Foundations for 21st Century Higher Education (HEPI Report 172) is available to view here ⬇️⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eqqX46eT #ManagedServices #UKUniversities #Edtech #highered #universities #highereducation #edtechsolution #digitalleader #digitaluniversities #datasolutions #ai #artificialintelligence #accessibilitycompliance #accessibility #technology #hepi #learningmate #educationaltechnology @IanDunn

Did you miss our discussion on future-proofing education for the digital age? During our conversation, Prof. Carl Gombrich, Dean at the LIS: The London Interdisciplinary School, revealed strategies that are reshaping how we prepare students for tomorrow's challenges. Don't let these insights pass you by!    Here are the main takeaways:  ☑ Versatility and interdisciplinary knowledge are becoming the cornerstones of contemporary education.  ☑ With AI transforming the education landscape, media literacy and critical thinking are emerging as non-negotiable skills in the digital world.   ☑ Leading the charge in educational transformation, it is important for institutions are removing traditional departments and focusing on essential skills like data and research methods.    Check out our upcoming events for invaluable expert insights: https://shorturl.at/GnIi9    #InterdisciplinaryEducation #FutureOfEducation #DigitalEconomy #EducationInnovation #HigherEducation #EdTech #StudentSuccess

Three interesting observations here: 1) Students overestimate their abilities: this report shows that students think they are able to select the right classes for graduation without the help of an advisor. But advisors strongly disagree. It reminds me of a National Association of Colleges and Employers study showing students felt very confident in their proficiencies across career competencies while company recruiters were far more skeptical (link in comments). 2) The more you use Gen AI, the more you see the benefit: among student support staff, there is a clear gap in the perception of Gen AI between those who who use it regularly and those who don't. Regular users are more confident in its benefits for retention and persistence. That is not to say that regular users aren't "all in." They seem to still be in a "trust, but verify" state. But when you use it regularly and intelligently, the benefits become clear. 3) The human touch is important: students still want the professional support advisors can offer. On a 0 to 5 scale with 0 being "only humans" and 5 being "only AI" students, admins, and student support staff all favored a mix when it comes to everything from financial aid to career services to mental health. BUT, students did lean farther towards the AI than admins and staff did. Will have to keep an eye on that trend. Overall, like pretty much everything with Gen AI right now, #highered is experiencing a learning curve on AI. Deployed strategically, AI can free up staff to do more of the work that matters, and frankly, they probably enjoy more — interacting with and guiding learners.

#GenerativeAI is reshaping the way we create, learn, and communicate in higher education. Discover how this groundbreaking technology is revolutionizing and shaping the future of higher education with this Boston University Center for Teaching & Learning guide >> http://spr.ly/6049Tjj9X

As higher education evolves to meet diverse student needs, advisor burnout and turnover remain critical challenges. Our latest publication, Driving Toward a Degree 2024, explores how generative AI can address these issues and highlights the importance of holistic support services. Key insights: – 59% of students use AI tools monthly, but 49% of advisors have never used them. – Only 11% of admins say their data is ready to seed GenAI models. – Advisor retention and turnover are rising concerns. At Tyton Partners, we’re proud to leverage our expertise and strategic insights to help institutions implement effective solutions that enhance student success.
