Smart Campus is a paradigm shift to deliver exceptional consumer experience by leveraging innovative next-generation technologies to create a “digitally connected” campus. Higher Education is facing massive disruption where the digital culture shift is impacting many institutions. Students are digital natives expecting a consumer like experience with intuitive and frictionless engagements with extreme personalization. These consumer-like expectations along with advancements in next gen technologies, changing student body, and cost pressures are forcing higher education institutions to reconsider how they address the needs of students, faculty and staff. By leveraging emerging technologies like Blockchain, Ai, Machine Learning, Automation and location intelligence, many institutions are able to foster positive outcomes through a digitally connected campus. Many higher education institutions are now at a fork in the road to prioritize this transformation to a next generation campus or face fierce competition from those who understand the importance of this shift. Matthew will be covering how a Smart Campus Framework can enable the true digital transformation to address operational efficiency, enable new educational models and foster an irresistible experience digital natives expect.

The sheer thought of replacing an inadequate, aging legacy system is daunting. Institution executives are trying to determine if they stay on-premises longer or take the big plunge and move to the cloud.
Only 5% of U.S. colleges and universities have selected a modern cloud solution. The other 95% are preparing. So it really isn’t a question of “if” they will move to the cloud its…… “when”. Once you’ve made the decision, what is the best approach to ensure success? This presentation will answer that question and more.

Location behavior as it relates to student success

This talk will outline some of the newest ways predictive algorithms are helping learners choose pathways where they will feel a deep sense of purpose and how those emotions are improving outcomes.

In the presentation will be:
• An overview of the origins of the science
• A review of Skills Vs Purpose a small paradigm shift as applied to science
• A review of the outcomes seen so far

Also provided will be, contextual examples of how learning institutions are using the platform to
• Enhance recruitment based on connecting with the right learner
• Help students choose programs of study which will hold a higher probability of completion
• Provide a platform allowing deeper outreach and widen the base of data.
