We have been lucky to see the turning of the tide on how Education and Research are today integrated to the business world. We enjoyed professional growth human relation in the learning system but today technologies become integral part to the learning process for students and professionals. Between online learning and interactive digital classrooms, technology is completely shifting how students are being taught and gaining knowledge. Not only does this technology affect students, but also professionals undergoing corporate trainings, leadership coaching or looking for ways to upskill.

Institutions that are looking to thrive in the expanding education ecosystem are leveraging technology early, it’s enabling them to become more innovative and attract more talents for future professionals. A series of strategic technologies that are predicted to have biggest impact on higher education and educational leaders must adopt earlier:

1. Next-generation security and risk management:

From global compliance regulations, Data Access rising, evolving Data Science, Machine Learning, Neuronal Nets, Internet of Things (IoT), Smart homes, Bot & Conversational AI Assistants, Wearables, Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), Tokenization of asset, Cryptocurrencies, Digital Wallets, Augmented Reality and many more, higher education institutions must prepare for increasingly sophisticated security threats that constitute the challenge of connected world and higher 24/7 availability access to connected systems around us from home, streets, airports to offices.

2. Artificial intelligence (AI) conversational interfaces

This technology has exploded in higher education within recent years, as it is able to interpret the wants of the user through the user’s spoken or written language. AI conversational interfaces boosts efficiency and user satisfaction is very higher. AI has transformed robotic to a friendly and non-scary relation with artificial intelligence. Human are now relying more and slowly to machine intelligence with Google map, voice search, shortcuts, driverless cars, customer service bots, virtual & Personal assistant agents, into an augmentation path that deeply create a fundamental relation with human with all object around us whether IoT, Smartphones, Tablets, Desktop/PC, TVs & Wearable. Making us to collaborate seamlessly with augmented and artificial intelligence on a new paradigm shift.

3. Smart campus

Digital or physical spaces in which humans and smart devices are able to freely interact. While these environments are in their earlier stages, they are expected to continue evolving. Students are going to utilize virtual nets to experience scenes and collaborate globally with students around the world.

4. Predictive analytics

Predictive analytics are valuable in education because they can give students insight into the demand for certain courses, as well as detect the likelihood of students failing or dropping out. Provide insights on how their skills would impact their future and simulate scenarios that could be treated earlier than adapting them later. We could even prescribe and influence specialization. So, we build generations that are ready to contribute to gaps of talents we face and can be needed tomorrow. These new capabilities relying on Advance data driven analytics, will help us make student specialize in domain which really fit to their future career success.

5. Nudge tech

Millennials are very attached to their devices, some institutions should use data to impact student’s behavior, like establishing good studying habits, discipline or making time for fitness in between classes. Above all, nudge tech is a concrete example of how to achieve personalization at scale, which is becoming a key competitive advantage in an increasingly global and digital education ecosystem.

6. Digital credentialing tech

Digital credentials are a crucial technology for eliminating fraud and protecting user information, a tool that will prove incredibly useful at higher education institutions during recruitment and admissions processes. Set and best example of Self Sovereign Identity (SSI), not only offering a most trusted and reliable proof of identity to individual or entities, it is the way proof of ownership and trust of claims are well managed in digital world. Designed from decentralized structure, SSI Sovrin foundation gives chance to offer freedom of identity ownership to individual and government issued ID, become just one of the credentials we possess, making us owner with power to decide what-to and who-to share part of our credentials we earned.

7. Hybrid integration platforms

Universities and other educational institutions are adopting more and more cloud-based business applications, resulting in a hybrid spread of cloud systems. These platforms are able to centralize customer relationship manager (CRM) systems and learning management systems (LMS) into a more integrated process. Learning become virtual and real-life with scenarios that deliver problem solution process to students where their maturity of contributing to society become more accurate that we did before. On device services, on device analytics, on device recommendations, micro intelligence, are now trending to balance the shifting to giant cloud provider monopoly. Cloud providers must change and adapt with proximity, on device and privately accessible services that must work online and offline seamlessly to individual and businesses.

8. Career software

In the past, this was found in the career offices in professional schools, such as business or engineering, but we are seeing institutions explore the option of deploying a single enterprise level career-focused tool that not only promote excellency, procreate incubation programs but also promote acceleration facilities to new graduate with their well selected and tested ideas. Students get access to real business tooling and test their ideas with their talent while in graduation program, making them prepared for opportunities in the real world. Big tech and large corporation are investing in academies for students who got talent and working for excellency.

9. Student cross-life cycle CRM

CRMs are integral to a student’s holistic educational journey. Moving through all phases of education, students are able to have a centralized outlook into their entire educational path. So they can link their future with easily connected world of companies emerging on their domain of specialization.

10. Wireless technologies

An obviously useful technology for students, this tech allows users to easily get access to systems, using wireless presentation materials from a computer or mobile device onto a different screen via Wi-Fi. This tech is extremely expending with WiFi 6.0 and will grow useful as more institutions adopt bring your own device policies to schools and campus.

The World is opened for You future generation, the Sky is the limit. We help you focus, so don’t be distracted with so many things but rather get the benefits of everything at your disposal that we, at our generations we run miles away to libraries and our teachers’ office hour’s time to get help, while now student clubs and access to information is 24/7 at your fingertips.
