Higher education providers play an increasingly
critical role in social and economic prosperity across the globe. In a fast changing
world that sees education being redefined to benefit individual learners with
the support of highly personalized learning strategies, there is a growing
emphasis on a more data informed approach to planning, the execution of
strategic choice and realisation of opportunity, as well as the harnessing of
emerging infrastructure and technologies such as 5G network, AI, robotics, IoT,
AR/VR, etc, to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning. And thanks to 5G technology, a cyber space
that can be expected to be free of latency and delay for highly engaging learning
experience is never as close to us as it is today.
Today, higher education institutions around
the world are comprehensively exploring how to transform education for the
future with next generation technologies. But, do we have the right skills,
capabilities, systems and processes to make the most of this future – and do we
know what success in this increasingly technological world looks like? How do
we make sure that we are not disoriented in the fast changing world of
technologies but are instead empowered to harness technologies to make
education even more powerful?
On this foundation, the theme for the 2020
HEPA forum is:
“The
Impact of Emerging Technologies and Competencies for Higher Education of the
Future”
The impact of emerging technologies is wide
and far reaching. Graduates will need
new skills to thrive in the industries and institutions of higher learning will
have to prepare their graduates for enhanced employability. At the same time, administrators and
educators alike may go about their daily work more efficiently and effectively
with capabilities to leverage emerging technologies, made possible in a
conducive environment brought about by progressive and supportive leadership
and culture.
The forum will explore how to strategize
and plan for a well-governed framework for education of the future, one that embraces
emerging technologies to make the operation (which includes teaching and
learning) of our higher learning institutions more efficient and effective, as
well as to groom graduates who are well versed with emerging technologies to
stay relevant in the fast evolving industries.
Topics covered may include:
Leadership, culture and capability
Strategic planning
Higher education policy
settings and systems
Educational administration and
challenges
The future education landscape
and how to adapt to these changes
Embracing emerging technologies
for higher education of the future
