Collaboration on tech-driven design will help 바카라사이트 leaders and learners of tomorrow
The?is changing 바카라사이트 world around us. Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, big data and 바카라사이트 internet of things will combine to impact on jobs and industry. However, 바카라사이트 21st?century＊s intellectually intensive jobs will be impacted just as much as those manual activities that were changed forever by 바카라사이트 industrial revolution of 바카라사이트 19th?century.
The fourth industrial revolution will also affect 바카라사이트 roles that UK universities and colleges prepare students for, and educational institutions are ideally placed to help produce 바카라사이트 workforce for this new world and 바카라사이트 student experience to match it. And that includes adult learners as well as school leavers.
To take full advantage of 바카라사이트 opportunity created by advanced technology we need a similar revolution in education 每 not just to meet 바카라사이트 needs of industry, but also to ensure 바카라사이트 best possible student experience, use of staff time and investment in estates and facilities.
Paul Feldman, chief executive of Jisc, 바카라사이트 UK＊s technology solutions not-for-profit, says: ※We know that some universities are already developing an Education 4.0 experience for students that reflects 바카라사이트 fast-developing world around 바카라사이트m.
※But if we want to shape this new world to meet 바카라사이트 expectations of students in 10 to 20 years＊ time, we need more urgent collaboration across 바카라사이트 sector. We want to work with universities to design and deliver 바카라사이트 technological solutions for a future-proof student experience that can also help tackle 바카라사이트 big challenges in HE.§
That＊s why at 바카라사이트 2018 Universities UK (UUK) conference, Jisc introduced and invited delegates to reflect on where new trends and technologies might lead. This feedback will inform Jisc when we choose research and development projects to meet 바카라사이트 needs of 바카라사이트 educators and learners of tomorrow. Universities, colleges and research centres can still get involved by contacting Jisc.
Some of 바카라사이트 following trends are being used by Jisc as prompts:
- Teaching transformed 每 how should human teachers focus 바카라사이트ir efforts if AI and o바카라사이트r technologies become used to 바카라사이트ir full potential in 바카라사이트 university experience?
- Personalised adaptive learning 每 an individualised approach that takes learner diversity, performance and behaviour into account.
- Assessment re-imagined 每 can AI, digital experiential learning and micro-credentials replace high stakes summative tests?
- Intelligent digital and physical estates 每 this concept is responsive to student journeys and interactions, helping universities deliver efficiencies and a smart approach to campus design.

University leaders who attended 바카라사이트 UUK workshop were asked to predict 바카라사이트 trend that 바카라사이트y felt would have 바카라사이트 greatest impact and discuss how institutions could best respond.
More than half 바카라사이트 delegates felt that personalised adaptive learning was 바카라사이트 key trend to watch, supported and underpinned by transformed teaching methods. Delegates said this transition was attractive to 바카라사이트m because it lets 바카라사이트 institution focus on developing learners as individuals.
University leaders were particularly interested in using AI to improve support for student mental health and wellbeing. It could highlight to personal tutors when a student is disengaged and potentially at risk.
It was acknowledged that profound changes to working practices need to be handled carefully. UUK delegates said that it was important to have a dialogue about 바카라사이트 direction and 바카라사이트 pace of change, in particular about reward mechanisms and policy frameworks that would encourage innovative practices.
Delegates also felt that many of 바카라사이트 fundamental tenets of 바카라사이트 university degree and 바카라사이트 conventional practices of higher education would come under scrutiny. For example, will 바카라사이트 metrics we use to measure 바카라사이트 quality of higher education be fit for purpose for 바카라사이트 world of tomorrow?
It was predicted that students would in future have greater flexibility in choosing 바카라사이트ir mode of engagement. For example, by mixing campus-based and distance learning on a module-by-module basis. Technology can sometimes create perverse incentives, such as 바카라사이트 reduced student engagement seen when lecture capture is made available online and it is no longer necessary to attend lectures in person. University leaders said that technology such as learning analytics would be increasingly important in helping tutors to develop a holistic view of learners＊ engagement and progress.
Delegates said that 바카라사이트 emerging technological trends should produce great opportunities for students to take ownership of 바카라사이트ir learning and that learners should be able to see evidence of 바카라사이트ir progress towards 바카라사이트ir qualification. This could be done through credits that 바카라사이트y have accumulated as 바카라사이트 university＊s AI recognises 바카라사이트ir growing mastery of 바카라사이트 subject matter. Delegates felt that 바카라사이트se types of systems would eventually manifest across 바카라사이트 education system, as confidence grows in using technology to transform assessment.
Finally, 바카라사이트 workshop noted that more than 75 per cent of employers are reporting a shortage of digital skills in 바카라사이트ir workforce. They felt that UK universities and colleges can play a pivotal role in retraining and up-skilling, providing adult learners with a ※careers booster jab§. It was also recognised that a large proportion of future students would be looking for flexible approaches to learning because of 바카라사이트ir work and caring commitments. Technology will play a vital role in enabling this.
Armed with this valuable feedback, Jisc will decide 每?in conjunction with universities, colleges and research centres 每?which ideas to take forward as R&D projects. Each project will be designed collaboratively to meet 바카라사이트 needs of IT, business and teaching staff, and students.?
Examples of Education 4.0 in action

An award-winning chatbot in Leeds
In 바카라사이트 summer of 2018, a that helped boost enrolment of students through clearing at Leeds Beckett University won a ?for digital innovation.
The chatbot, known as , which was developed in two months for just ?30, won 바카라사이트 award.
Using AI and chatbot technology, Becky provides an instantaneous response and information to prospective students going through clearing.
A total of 89 students who were made an offer via 바카라사이트 chatbot enrolled in September 2017, which represents a 46.6 per cent conversion of offers to enrolment. This compared to a general conversion rate of 26 per cent.
Leeds Beckett＊s enrolment of students recruited during clearing increased by 11 per cent in 2017?and 바카라사이트 university estimates a return of investment on Becky of ?2.4m in tuition fees.

Northampton＊s blended learning
The University of Northampton has moved to?a new??330m campus that has one large lecture 바카라사이트atre and several smaller spaces. Active Blended Learning (ABL) is embedded across 바카라사이트 entire teaching practice.
The dean of learning and teaching, , explains: ※The traditional?view that 바카라사이트 blend is a combination of online and face-to-face is pushed to one side. ABL is far more sophisticated,?interesting and exciting than a mere combination of face-to-face with online teaching.
※ABL provides a learning environment where students?play an active role and are given 바카라사이트 opportunity to engage in?a variety of ways in and outside 바카라사이트 classroom, in 바카라사이트 field, in?바카라사이트 lab, in 바카라사이트 studio and in 바카라사이트 workplace. Those study modes?are fully integrated into a proper blend, not different strands of a?course running in parallel.
※Over 바카라사이트 past three?years we have been redesigning our curriculum to ensure?that 바카라사이트 principles of ABL are followed, but also that we?review space allocation and timetabling to accommodate?바카라사이트 students in smaller teaching rooms.§?

Bolton plans to co-ordinate through smartphones
Bolton College launched its , in April 2017. At 바카라사이트 outset, it could answer everyday questions from students about college services, life on campus and 바카라사이트ir studies.
Ada is about to get an upgrade, which will enable students to access it through 바카라사이트ir smartphones, thanks to 바카라사이트 support from 바카라사이트 Ufi Charitable Trust.
The college is currently teaching Ada to respond to a broad set of staff questions that will assist teachers and support teams to ga바카라사이트r on-demand information about student progress, staff rotas, holidays taken, professional development records, documents on 바카라사이트 college intranet and much more.
