“We’re a bit in denial as academics…or a good part of us are still wanting to deliver the same old way we used to deliver. And the audience has just moved on. The audience is really learning in a different way.”

From Mauritania to Dubai, and from IBM to higher education - join Professor Mohamed Salem Zein, President of University of Wollongong in Dubai, with host Prof Judyth Sachs, for a dynamic dialogue that explores the future of higher education from diverse global perspectives.

They discuss reimagining learning for a new generation of students who consume information differently; strategies to fostering academic integrity, curiosity, and practical application of knowledge; flexibility in curricular to allow students independence on their educational journeys; the UAE’s shift towards a knowledge economy; and how UOW Dubai has improved student outcomes by experimenting with how they deliver learning and assessment.
