Infinite education: The Four-Step Strategy for Leading Change in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

What is the topic?

How to think of the disruption of AI in education as an opportunity to innovate and change. Change everything from the role of teaching, assessment, and learning to curriculum and essential skills.

Why is the topic important?

Higher Education has been losing ground for decades. Little by little the public feels higher education has lost its relevancy, credibility and value. Stakeholders in Higher Education must not think, "Are students ready for university?" but "Is the university ready for students?" Fitzpatrick's book is a call to action. A call to anticipate change, inspire innovation and craft a vision that resonates with everyone in our communities.

Who can use this information?
