A new account intended to disseminate & discuss relevant news about the #future landscape of #highereducation. Are colleges & #universities ready to change considering the shifting global, technological & socioeconomic trends ahead? What are key #highered influencers discussing?

[Francisco Marmolejo @fmarmole]

It is time to challenge our traditional assumptions about #highereducation. Here, a summary of the recent podcast in which I discussed key trends to watch in #highered & the innovative multiversity @QF model of #EducationCity in Qatar.

#Theme

In an era of disruptions of many types - such as pandemics, climate change, and conflict, just to name a few - higher education is faced with challenges to navigate rapidly changing realities, overcome economic, political, ecological, and technological difficulties, and equitably serve its multiple stakeholders. We invite submissions of empirical research or conceptual work that is concerned with advancing higher education equity against this backdrop, whether the focus is on students, teachers, researchers, scholars, higher education practitioners, or any other stakeholder, and whether the submission targets local, national or international disruption(s).

#Registration

No registration fees will be collected. All accepted participants can attend the event, free of charge. Space is limited.

#HowToApply

To apply, submit a 1,000 word paper (exclusive of references) and Curriculum vitae (CV).

📅 Applications must be received by January 31, 2024.

Selected participants will be invited to present their paper at the Summer Institute. Selected papers will also be considered for publication in a future edition of CIHE Perspectives.

My comment at #WISE11: #AI is seriously disrupting the #highereducation model. Now, the blackbox that is the classroom, can be any place, any time.
Also, we should assure a more inclusive, relevant & flexible #highered in the #AI era.

While we are still figuring out the disruption of #AI in #education, risks on equality, learning, sovereignty & culture should be addressed now.
Great summary by @yojanasharma at @uniworldnews of discussions held at the #WISE11 Summit hosted by @QF in Doha

Today, we are hosting a group of new university presidents & emerging #highered leaders in @QF’s #EducationCity, at the premier #IAUP Development Seminar co-hosted with @QatarUniversity & @UDSTOFFICIAL. Great common learning experience.

Higher Ed friends:

You are given the opportunity to start a new university from scratch. What elements of the current model of higher education do you keep, what do you abandon, and what fresh ideas do you bring in?

Go.

[Francisco Marmolejo @fmarmole]

Undoubtedly, #highereducation is at a unique crossroads due to the disruption caused by #AI. But are we reviewing adequately its implications? @Tjido, CEO of @chainml_,challenges #highered leaders from across the world at #IAUDoha2023 to address the issue more seriously. @IAU_AIU

Female #highereducation enrollment in USA dropped at twice the rate of male students btw 2020-22. A good analysis of a concerning trend using @NSClearinghouse data (https://t.co/Nqt8UgcBlO) made by @jxshbay from @The74. It is not only due to the pandemic. https://t.co/Do21LsJpio

A genius?
A higher IQ score may show creative insights, but it must be combined with curiosity, perseverance, metacognition,humility & luck to come up with something truly original & noteworthy.
