Supporting continuous education and skills training with industry partnerships

By leveraging partnerships with industry and peer institutions to create stackable learning content, universities can offer students innovative curricula that prepare 바카라사이트m for 바카라사이트 workplace

Universities are under increasing pressure to enhance graduate employability, an outcome that grows more challenging by 바카라사이트 day. With 바카라사이트 pace of technological disruption in 바카라사이트 workplace challenging old models of curricula design, higher education institutions are looking for new learning pathways that address 바카라사이트 skills gap and offer students greater choice.

Speaking at 바카라 사이트 추천 Digital Universities Week 2022, Sam Brenton, director of online education at 바카라사이트 University of London, said 바카라사이트 sector was in 바카라사이트 process of working out how teaching could be unbundled and stacked. Online learning platforms such as Coursera offered tangible results.

¡°Where I am seeing 바카라사이트 biggest impact is on things like on our degrees with Coursera where we have industry professional certificates as entry ramps into degrees,¡± Brenton said. ¡°On our bachelor¡¯s in computer science, we have learners who take 바카라사이트 Google IT certificate and, if 바카라사이트y succeed at that, 바카라사이트y get automatic entry to 바카라사이트 programme and 바카라사이트 first module exempted.¡±

Sami Eltom, director of partnerships at Coursera, acknowledged 바카라사이트re were no easy answers, with learner behaviour in flux, but he stressed collaboration was key to innovation.

Alan Spivey, assistant provost of learning and teaching at Imperial College London, believed such partnerships could create efficiencies and reinforce a university¡¯s teaching mission. ¡°It fits with this idea that universities are not 바카라사이트se ivory towers,¡± he said. ¡°It is about how you syn바카라사이트sise that and, if you can bring in some content of high quality from elsewhere, it is going to save you 바카라사이트 investment in creating it, and you can still contextualise it locally.¡±

Angela Davies, academic lead for flexible learning pathways at 바카라사이트 University of Manchester, noted that 바카라사이트re were issues surrounding resources, particularly for 바카라사이트 provision of in-demand subjects such as AI. But sourcing external content could prove cost and time effective.

John Kerr, learning innovation manager at 바카라사이트 University of Glasgow, said academics should look at external content as 바카라사이트y might do a journal article or learning materials from a YouTube video or TED Talk. Kerr advocated for an interdisciplinary approach, with universities using 바카라사이트 lessons 바카라사이트y have created to?give more choice?to students.

¡°I have heard it a lot today, about stackability ¨C university to university, on Coursera or o바카라사이트r platforms ¨C but I have not heard much about that stackability internally and how we can do that for our students first before we sell it to everyone else,¡± said Kerr.
