Presented by Prof Tammary Esho DVC-ASA AMIU Transforming higher education ecosystem through disruptive technologies Disruptive Technologies in Education Ecosystem Higher education is at a crossroads Disruptive technologies are rapidly changing the world, and traditional models of learning are struggling to keep up This presentation will explore how; these technologies are transforming the higher education ecosystem, and we can leverage them to create a more accessible, engaging, and effective learning experience for all. The Challenges of Today's Higher Education Today's higher education system faces numerous challenges. Skyrocketing costs of tuition and fees Limited access to quality education Traditional/Outdated teaching methods that fail to engage students & prepare them the for 21st century work force System challenges e.g lack of personalization and flexibility to cater for diverse learners Skills gap between graduates and industry needs Disruptive Technologies: Agents of Change Disruptive technologies offer a range of possibilities for transforming higher education. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used for personalized learning and adaptive assessments Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can create immersive learning experiences Big data and analytics to track student progress and improve outcomes; health systems information, dz surveillance, health records, help clinicians understand trends, predict epidemics, and recommend preventive measures. Open educational resources (OERs) can make quality education more accessible Block chain can ensure secure and transparent credentialing and data management Virtual lab simulation Research Health SCOPE OF WORK FOR AMIU 5 Education Communities at the centre University of Primary Health Care AmIU Embrace AI: Impact of Tech in Health Space AmIU is a university of PHC Sustain an education ecosystem that promotes equitable access to learning for the development of appropriate PHC health workforce in Africa A strong virtual offering- enhance training at a distance Computer learning centers; VLSCs Creating equity in access Leave no one behind, marginalized, fragile areas Technically skilled, industry connected, Entrepreneurial Able to work across borders Has global perspective and connected globally AI assists in diagnostics, drug discovery, and personalized treatment Machine learning algorithms analyze medical images, predict disease progression, and enhance decision-making. Technology enables remote healthcare services, especially during the pandemic Consult experts via video calls, receive virtual care, and access health apps Smart wearables monitor vital signs, track fitness, and provide real-time health data. Embracing the Future of Higher Education The future of higher education is full of possibilities Disruptive technologies are not a threat, but an opportunity to transform higher education for the better. We must embrace these technologies and use them to create a more accessible, engaging, and effective learning experience for all. The future of higher education is bright, and disruptive technologies are leading the way Disruptive technologies emerging concerns Disruptive technologies and interpersonal skills development among students eg impact if tech on social skills! Scope of awareness among users on emerging technologies Actual cost of investment in comparison to conventional approaches Higher education quality controls midst the emerging disruptive technologies Lecturers preparedness for the emerging disruptive higher education technologies Effect of disruptive technologies on teaching culture 8 8 Embrace Tech: Building a More Equitable and Accessible Ecosystem Disruptive technologies have the potential to make higher education more equitable and accessible than ever before. By addressing the digital divide, we can ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn and thrive through equitable access to technology Supporting students from underserved communities Encouraging lifelong learning and upskilling opportunities Collaborating with industry and government to create a more workforce-ready education system Flipped classrooms and blended learning models Gamification and experiential learning, make learning more fun and engaging Project-based learning and community engagement, connect students to real-world problems and prepare them for future careers Global collaboration and virtual exchange programs broaden students' perspectives and prepare them for the interconnected world image3.jpg image5.jpeg image2.jpg image6.png image7.png image8.png image9.png image10.jpg image11.png image12.png image13.png image14.png image15.png image16.png image17.gif image1.jpg
