Title: Higher Education Future in the Era of Digital Transformation


Abstract: The speech will focus on the concerns surrounding digitalization in higher education institutions (HEIs) and the need for developing digital skills, particularly information literacy, in preparing future managers. The impact of digital technology on today's children and the existence of digital divisions within society will be highlighted. The necessity for universities and teaching to undergo a significant digital transformation to meet the demands of the technology-rich world. How the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this transformation, prompting HEIs to adapt quickly. Investigate the digital transformation in the education of the younger generation, the emergence and reinforcement of digital divides, and potential challenges.

Title: Higher Education in the new era through the lense of Ecology of Knowledge(s)


Abstract: Higher education is coming under increasing pressure from a myriad of directions, including issues around funding, increased competition globally, advances in technology, and questions about the worth of a university education 

in today’s world. Central to this is the growth of entrepreneurial education, and the increase/increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The potential for change to how education has traditionally been taught is significant, particularly to ensure that education, and especially degrees, offer value based on employability potential (Tomlinson, 2008), and that degree programmes are future ready for Industry 4.0.

This has resulted in a need to re-evaluate how education ecosystems should be managed to ensure continued success. Drawing on the concepts of ‘Ecology of Knowledge’, this paper will discuss how AI enabled knowledge practices and their interventions enable or restrict future concepts of education, with specific reference to entrepreneurial education. It will highlight the context driven hierarchies that are needed for new era management to be successful in the disruptive world of AI infused higher education, providing suggestions for change and highlighting challenges.

Title: Fostering Digital Competencies and Creative Experiences in Digital Learning Environment


Abstract: Technological transformation, accelerated by the pandemic, is affecting and shaping the education landscape around the world. While digital competence is certainly a key competence needed to survive in this transformative digital environment, creativity is an essential competency that is required to support such digital-influenced lifestyle and environment. In the current digital educational context, creativity is significant to promote educational innovation, enhance instructional design, which includes instruction and instructional strategies and materials, and stimulate development of digital content appropriate for the digital natives and generation Z for meaningful learning. Being proficient in both digital competence and creativeness is therefore crucial for survival and being part of the trends. This session will highlight a model consisting of four pillars that can build an appropriate digital learning environment for the enhancement of teaching and learning performance and creativity. The four pillars include understanding the learning community, applying appropriate digital competence, mastering relevant instructional design skills and knowledge, and regulating self-assessment and process-assessment. It is hoped that this model may contribute to the dynamics of digital instructions relevant for the generation Z.
