Delivering Collaborative and Experiential Learning Environments in Response to the New Digital Age and the Future of Work
Kevin Koh -
Head, SMU-X Office of the Provost,
Singapore Management University
The Dartmouth Centre for the Advancement of Learning recently conducted a review of research on the known outcomes of experiential learning. It found that the in demand skills of complex reasoning, critical thinking creativity and socioemotional intelligence are best acquired in experiential learning environments.
With this in mind, this workshop will explore the collaborative and experiential learning and teaching strategies that the Singapore Management University have put in place to prepare their students for the future of work.
- Enhancing student engagement and learning experience through experiential learning
- Understanding the change management processes that need to be in place to prepare teachers for a new collaborative learning environment
- Developing industry partnerships to create learning spaces that produce job ready graduates
- Exploring flexible space design to enable collaborative team-based learning

Exploring the Practical Application of AI in the Teaching and Learning Environment and Opportunities for the Future
Stefan Popenici -
Senior Higher Education and Training Developer,
Charles Darwin University
A recent report Artificial Intelligence in the US Education Sector stated that it is expected that AI in US education will grow by 47.5% up to 2021 and emerging technologies in the form of AI and machine learning are on the verge of drastically transforming educational institutes and the way that teaching and learning is delivered.
With this in mind, this workshop will explore the practical integration of AI and machine learning into the university environment, discussing case study focused examples of current best practice, whilst also looking at future opportunities to transform the ways universities operate and deliver teaching and learning.
The workshops will cover the following learning areas:
- Exploring case study examples of the integration of AI and machine learning into the university environment
- Building the business case – return on investment
- Understanding the tech – exploring the solution provider market
- Examining stakeholder engagement and change management strategies
- Utilising AI tools to help develop skills and testing systems
- Differentiated and personalized learning - Understanding future opportunities to customize curriculum for every student's needs
- What is achievable today to automate admin tasks?
- Risks associated to the rise of AI in higher education (e.g. privacy, inequality & discrimination, cost savings vs. quality focus, monopoly of AI systems)
