What’s driving the vision for the University of the Future?
Our University of the Future series takes an in-depth look at what the future holds for the sector. We interviewed universities from across Australia and Asia to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their institutions and how they plan to deliver value to an increasingly diverse range of students. We’ll be releasing a series of blogs in the upcoming weeks, watch this space!

Universities have changed in how they value online learning and what their offer is in this area. So, the university of the future will see technology-enhanced learning and educational technology as differently valued business operations and therefore, perhaps radically, reappraise what advantages they may gain from investments in this area.

There’ll be more online learning and more flexible learning. With this shift to rapid remote learning, universities are now cancelling lectures so there’s now no in-person lectures in quite a few of the courses – they’re all online.
