Universities have long been institutions of tradition, renowned for being at the forefront of thought leadership and encouraging students to push boundaries.
Technological developments around both delivery and consumption of educational content have resulted in limitless free online courses and global reach from single institutions.
As a result, Australian universities are having to develop creative ways to ensure they stay relevant in a global environment and consider new sources of revenue.
Join this Future of Education digital roundtable to learn how data science can help universities to push their own boundaries and make up the shortfall in physical enrolments and adapt to a locality agnostic student pool.
Industry thought leaders, Microsoft and HP experts will humanise data science to explain its real-life benefits, such as those below.
- Data science can deliver returns on actual enrolments
For the unfamiliar, data science can be intimidating. But by learning a few key basics, tertiary business leaders can harness data science to deliver significant economic returns
- Real-life case studies shine a light on the power of data science
Using simple language, easy-to-digest visuals and real-life case studies, experts will explain how learning institutions can leverage data sciences to come out the other side of these challenging times.
