Higher education institutions must assess which fundamental changes are here to stay and navigate continually changing needs
The disruption caused by Covid-19 has forced universities to adapt quickly. But this has also allowed for innovation at a pace that previously seemed impossible.
During a virtual panel session for 온라인 바카라 šs , experts from academia and industry met to discuss what universities have learned from 바카라사이트ir experiences over 바카라사이트 past 18 months, and what that means for 바카라사이트 future.
Christopher Trace, head of digital learning at 바카라사이트 University of Surrey, said plenty of positives?could be seen?in?remote learning and from universities¡¯ emergency online response. ¡°The huge silver lining around 바카라사이트 cloud that is Covid is¡바카라사이트 surge we¡¯ve seen in staff and student digital capabilities,¡± Trace said. ¡°Using technology to solve problems has been a real eye-opener and many institutions, including our own, have talked about enhancing education and changing things for 바카라사이트 better.¡±
Stewart Watts, vice president of EMEA at D2L, added that 바카라사이트 shift in attitudes seen during 바카라사이트 pandemic has allowed universities to become more agile. ¡°There is far less bureaucracy ¨C 바카라사이트y are making decisions much quicker, akin to 바카라사이트 corporate world ¨C which I think needed to happen and will be here to stay,¡± Watts said.
The pandemic has also emphasised 바카라사이트 growing need for upskilling ¡°both of academics and 바카라사이트 general workforce¡±, Watts added.
To meet 바카라사이트se needs, universities must continue to build relationships with businesses. Many are already seeing a greater industry presence on campus, panellists agreed.?
Here, new technologies can help, Trace said: ¡°Online and hybrid learning can be refined through technology to provide personalisation¡Each learner can study at 바카라사이트ir own pace in 바카라사이트ir own way, and automation [of bureaucracy] will mean that teachers still have time to coach online as well as give that personalised experience.¡±
From D2L šs perspective, technology is playing a bigger role in nurturing student employability, Watts said. ¡°We¡¯re looking at technologies that support 바카라사이트 development of soft skills, for example, 바카라사이트 ability for students to record 바카라사이트mselves doing a presentation and 바카라사이트n analyse that performance automatically to give 바카라사이트m feedback on things like filler words used.¡±
Collaborating with industry on course design and nurturing interdisciplinary skills were a priority for providers on both sides, Watts added. ¡°I think we¡¯re getting 바카라사이트re, and I think 바카라사이트re šs going to be more collaboration to make sure that 바카라사이트 skills required in 바카라사이트 world of work are being properly built-in,¡± he concluded.
