In this session, we explore the intersection of digital transformation and learning with a focus on how AI is changing the landscape for what and how students learn and how higher education institutions can engage with them. We begin by exploring how hyflex learning provides opportunities for learners to engage in a multi-modal way, and with thoughtful space design paired with digital tools we can create inclusive and accessible learning for every student. When we then layer in AI tools we can create powerful, personalized learning that better prepares students with experiences aligned to the future of work. Digital transformation provides an opportunity to reimagine the art-of-the-possible and this session will provide tangible ideas to evolve productivity and design engaging, transformed student experiences.
