The Higher Education Policy Institute has published a collection of essays on educational technology, edited by Mary Curnock Cook CBE.
Technology Foundations for 21st Century Higher Education (HEPI Report 172), sponsored by LearningMate, brings together leading voices to explain how technology can improve higher education.
The authors’ insights include:
- Technological change is a people-centred phenomenon, and student strategy and digital strategy are inseparable.
- Higher education will have to adopt, adapt, collaborate and lead to take advantage of AI while managing the risks.
- A fundamental shift in the programme-based logic that underpins assurance and regulation in the sector will be needed to champion innovation as the basis of long-term sustainability.
- Technology could be a powerful driver to democratise access to higher education.
- Technology capabilities should form the cornerstones for institutional excellence in a digital-first world.
- Data should be treated as a core strategic asset.
