Time: 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Description:

Leaders in higher education understand the importance of keeping up with current technological trends and how they affect students, staff, and faculty. Join Accenture Senior Manager, Kristin McElderry, as she outlines the results of Accenture’s Tech Vision 2022 report and reflect on what these findings can do for your organization. Learn how technological innovations such as block chain, AI, digital twins, extended reality, and the metaverse can enhance your organizations’ strategic goals and daily operations. How might a digital twin campus enhance student engagement in online courses? What contribution could I make to student and employee anti-bias training? Where might you leverage augmented reality to enhance on-campus experiences? We will discuss these and many other opportunities for leveraging technology trends in higher education. At the end of the session there will be a Q&A where the audience is invited to reflect on these trends, ask their own questions, and raise their own concerns about the future of technology in higher education.
