apply to higher
education
#TechVision
Technology Vision 2023 | When Atoms meet Bits
As covered in Accenture’s Technology Vision 2023,
our annual forecast of the most important tech
trends reshaping business, the path forward will be
to build a singular shared reality for an institution’s
constituents. For the higher education sector, this
includes students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the
broader community.
Universities are at an exciting precipice of
technological innovation, one that is not just
digitizing operations but putting that digital
foundation to work. However, educational
institutions must provide active leadership to ensure
that there are guidelines to interacting with these
technological innovations in a responsible manner.
We live in two parallel realities, one of
atoms and one of bits.
We increasingly move seamlessly between our digital
and physical worlds in nearly all aspects of our lives.
This is also the case in the higher education sector.
Nearly all students – even campus-based students –
will learn online or remotely for at least some portion
of their degree. They now access information across
multiple channels and platforms as they learn, live,
and administrate their lives at the institution. They
also collaborate with humans and computers, but
usually not at the same time. Transitioning between
them can be challenging, confusing, or impossible.
That is all changing. The next wave of education
transformation will shift from building isolated digital
capabilities to creating the foundations of a new
reality—a shared reality that combines of physical
ones of atoms and our digital ones of bits.

Four Technology Trends
From generative AI to the metaverse—with technology advancing at accelerating speeds and becoming more woven
into everyday life—it is important that the education sector prepare for the future. This year’s higher education
companion to the Accenture Technology Vision 2023 explores how the four tech trends identified are shaping the future
for educational institutions.
Digital identity
ID for everyone and everything
Emerging forms of foundational ID like Learning and
Employment Records are breaking down the walls that
divide the physical and digital lives of students, faculty,
staff, and future employers
Your data, my data, our data
Why transparency will become your
most precious resource
Institutions will become increasingly focused on data
transparency, new data management architectures, and a
thoroughly cybersecurity-trained workforce.
Generalizing AI
The radical edges— and possibilities— of
intelligence
Strategic deployment of AI tools can improve university improve
services for students, staff, and faculty. However, this will require
universities to understand their capabilities, track how they are
advancing, and ethically promote those technologies.
Our forever frontier
The big bang of computing and science
Universities will need to ignite a new science technology revolution
in order to propel students to take advantage of the vast innovation
opportunities that are emerging.

Digital Identity: ID for everyone
and everything
Schools are a core identity anchor of each of our
journeys. They ensure resilience, security, and
opportunity through the providing of critical credentials
we need to navigate our lives. The possibilities for
institutions to maximize impact for stakeholders—student,
faculty, staff, and alumni—by standardizing identity
practices are staggering.
Emerging forms of foundational ID are breaking down the
walls that divide the physical and digital lives of
students, faculty, staff, and future employers – 84% of
higher education executives agree their organizations are
innovating around digital identity via tokenization.
A continuous challenge in higher education is the
successful credential transfer process. Currently,
students who transfer lose 43% of their credits during
this process*. Digital identity technologies like
verifiable Learning and Employment Records (LERs) can
solve a critical problem in the transfer process be
5
Finding balance
While the next generation
expects institutions will
inherently know who they
are and what they’ve
accomplished–
automatically making
connections across
different universities,
schools, and departments
– convenience must be
balanced with security.
Institutions need to
future-proof themselves
for a world where data
sharing and ownership is
dramatically different.

Students
Enable seamless transfer credit articulation
through blockchain enabled verifiable credentials
to expedite transcript request process, enabling
students to eliminate hiccups, reducing manual
work for universities to validate, and driving fewer
lost credits.
Faculty & Staff
Improve interoperability between devices and tools
with replacing passwords with identity credentials
and biometric identification to improve data
security in research projects and lowering the
potential for data breaches.
Alumni & Community
Enhance engagement by allowing alumni to earn
alumni credentials, stored in digital wallets and
secured on blockchain, to be exchanged for
university and community event admission.
What’s happening now?
Where we’ll see this trend in higher education:
RMIT future-proofs the university-to-student
connection with Microsoft Entra Verified ID
RMIT University leveraging blockchain for student credentialing
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT University) partnered with
Microsoft to deploy an innovative solution for identity management.
By partnering with Microsoft and Condatis, RMIT developed a solution which
allowed, via the Microsoft Authenticator app,
• Students to access libraries and discounts
• Alumni to send transcripts from RMIT to prospective employers, and
• Confirm satisfactory completion of select required trainings
EBSI simplifies the exchange of educational credentials between
partner universities
The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) partnered with the
Royal Spanish MINT and two Una Europa universities to pilot the exchange of
verifiable credentials between academic institutions in cross-border settings
including Spain, Belgium, and Italy.
Through the exchange of educational institutions between their partner
universities, EBSI provided the infrastructure to help students attain verifiable
ID credentials, Student IDs, transcript of records, and diplomas.
EBSI’s infrastructure attempts to reimagine mobility in Europe by making
student documents impossible to fake and easy to verify anywhere and
anytime. EBSI Verifiable Credentials Success Stories

Digital Identity
Challenges
For a central digital identity solution, there are limits imposed by existing regulations as well as cultural barriers. The
key is enabling governance and programs to efficiently facilitate the move to modern identity platforms. CIOs should
consider the need to re-tool the workforce on securely maintaining new platforms. As LERs become mainstream,
universities will need to understand what other data should be issued to students to prove their abilities, creating a push
for institutions to rethink their platforms.
Schools must consider the variety of stakeholders with vested interested in data, security, and identity. There is a
growing expectations from the actual students that they can receive their learning credentials in a way that allows them
to own and self-manage (e.g., having a digital diploma at their fingertips), and so institutions will have to meet this
demand. While students, parents, staff, and faculty have much to gain from increased personalization, legislatures and
governing bodies may question the security of centralized digital identity management.
7
What can your institution do now?
- Connect with institutions like Arizona State University’s Trusted Learner Network that are reimagining how to digital
identity on their campus to understand their process – what may benefit at your institution?
- Join organizations and initiatives focused on expanding digital identity to the higher education industry, such as the
Digital Credentials Consortium and the European Blockchain Standards Infrastructure – how can you be on the
frontier of the digital ID innovation?

Your Data, My Data, Our Data:
Why transparency is your most
precious resource
Transparency will be a precious resource for schools
looking to lead in innovation. Educational institutions
have face heightened pressure to be more transparent with
data; when asked, educational leaders were much more
likely than other industries to believe that their key
stakeholders exert the most pressure on data
transparency. Moving forward, university constituents
ranging from students to faculty will continue to put
pressure on universities to be more transparent to drive
accountability.
As schools adapted to online learning and emerging
technologies over the last three years, 66% of leaders
reported that the volume of data in their institution has
significantly increased. This is making room for the
outcomes that universities know they can get with better
data sharing, leading to increased insights from data
analytics and providing better student services through
360⁰ Value Integrated Reporting. 9
Building Trust Around
Proper Data Management
Universities will need to
ensure that stakeholders
feel in control of what
data they share and with
whom. For this to happen,
institutions need to
spend time building trust
with these stakeholders
before new tools can be
adopted at scale. This
trust will depend on data
transparency, new data
management architectures,
and a thoroughly
cybersecurity-trained
workforce.

UT Launches Data Dashboard to Increase
Transparency
University of Tennessee’s public academic data dashboard drives
transparency for stakeholders
In 2019, the University of Tennessee published a public dashboard to increase
information access to student, faculty, staff, and community stakeholders. The
dashboard shares highly sought after academic information, including:
- Enrollment
- Composite ACT scores
- Weighted GPA
- Degrees awarded
- Graduation & Retention statistics
University of Colorado Boulder creates crime data dashboard to
generate public trust
In 2022, CU Boulder created two new dashboards documenting calls for
service and calls initiated by the university police department (CUPD). The
dashboards are public and can be leveraged by the campus and surrounding
community.
CU Boulder’s initiative illustrates how the impact of data transparency extends
beyond students, faculty, and staff. CUPD already provide a vital public
service to the Boulder community, but residents and visitors now have access
to relevant crime data.
CU police embrace growing trend toward transparency with crime data

Your Data, My Data, Our Data
Challenges
As more personal data is collected and utilized, the risk and number of cyber attacks increase. There is also an
explosion of data that is being generated and stored on your campus IT systems. To protect sensitive data and avoid
breaches, it is critical to train your staff to mitigate the impact of data breaches and maintain stakeholder trust.
Complete solutions will require an overhaul of proper data governance, data integration, and cybersecurity controls. By
involving your faculty and staff in this data-driven transformation from the outset, everybody will feel included and be
able to influence what data is used in ways that work best for your campus.
Educational leaders must also consider legal protections around student data, including FERPA and HIPAA. Institutions
should be cautious around sharing disaggregated student data that could be personally identifiable.
11
What can your institution do now?
- Compare what your institution shared publicly compared to those in regional or academic conference – what
dashboards can you create or publicize?
- Evaluate how internal data is shared on your campus, including standards around cybersecurity assessments, data
governance, and data democratization – how can your institution leverage digital tools, analytics, and policies to
improve decision-making?

Generalizing AI: The radical edges – and
possibilities – of intelligence
Foundation models are becoming one of the biggest step changes in the history
of AI, transforming human-AI interaction and how work is done. Generative AI
introduces pre-trained models with remarkable task adaptability. Strategic
deployment of AI tools can reduce administrative burden on university
administrators and impact how they operate and serve constituents, enabling
them to devote more time to valuable, human-based services where they are
most needed – 82% of education executives report that Artificial Intelligence is
inspiring their organizations’ vision and long-term strategy.
However, this drastic change will require universities to understand their
strengths and capabilities and track how they are advancing – 69% of higher
education executives anticipate making significant increases in resources their
organization dedicates to AI. They also need to ensure that students and faculty
are working side by side using these technologies in a responsible and
transparent manner, understanding how generative AI tools impact how faculty
teach and how students learn.
Aligning on policies and
guidelines
As Generative AI technology advances, it
will become more commonplace in
education. Universities must develop
adequate guidelines to support
technological usage and confirm how
tools will align with the needs of faculty.
Education N= 180
Responses from faculty in a recent Chronicle
of Higher Education reader survey seem to

Where we’ll see this trend in higher education:
Arizona State University using AI to optimize the student success
journey
At the 2023 ASU+GSV Summit, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer of Arizona State University described how the university is using
generative AI to optimize its course catalog descriptions. Previously, course
descriptions were idiosyncratic and confusing in terms of how they are written.
AI technology was used to improve the course description language and
making these descriptions more present on the web through search engine
optimization.
Students now appreciate how they better understand what the course is about.
This in turn helps students to achieve success by picking the right courses for
their interests and needs.
National Louis University using AI to Improve student services
At the 2023 ASU + GSV Summit, National Louis University Provost Eddie
Phillips gave an overview of how his university uses chatbots, intelligent virtual
assistants, and FAQ support to aid students with their questions. Having
students engage with these tools helps free up more time for front-line student
services staff to have more substantive conversations with students.

Generalizing AI
Challenges
Most colleges, departments, and faculty have yet to develop guidelines on how AI should be used in the classroom.
There needs to be some consideration on how to protect sensitive student information when analyzing student data
with AI tools. Institutions also need to ensure that AI systems are fair and do not hold bias against any student groups.
Ultimately, generative AI tools are coming quickly and will be unavoidable. It is important for faculty and staff to be
prepared about how these tools will affect the learning experience.
There is also general uncertainty about pending government decision-making on AI around what will be regulated and
by which government entity. Universities must stay vigilant and actively participate in conversations about how AI will
affect future of generations of students, staff, and faculty.
15
What can your institution do now?
- Take the time to use foundation models available to today to experiment with applications for your students, staff,
and faculty – how can you explore smaller, easier use cases on your campus?
- Invest in the structure and governance needed for effective use of generative AI – how can you spending time
collaborating with others to develop guidelines on effective AI adoption?

Accenture Technology Vision - How the trends apply to higher education

  • 1. Accenture Technology Vision - How the trends apply to higher education
  • 2. #TechVision Technology Vision 2023 | When Atoms meet Bits As covered in Accenture’s Technology Vision 2023, our annual forecast of the most important tech trends reshaping business, the path forward will be to build a singular shared reality for an institution’s constituents. For the higher education sector, this includes students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the broader community. Universities are at an exciting precipice of technological innovation, one that is not just digitizing operations but putting that digital foundation to work. However, educational institutions must provide active leadership to ensure that there are guidelines to interacting with these technological innovations in a responsible manner. We live in two parallel realities, one of atoms and one of bits. We increasingly move seamlessly between our digital and physical worlds in nearly all aspects of our lives. This is also the case in the higher education sector. Nearly all students – even campus-based students – will learn online or remotely for at least some portion of their degree. They now access information across multiple channels and platforms as they learn, live, and administrate their lives at the institution. They also collaborate with humans and computers, but usually not at the same time. Transitioning between them can be challenging, confusing, or impossible. That is all changing. The next wave of education transformation will shift from building isolated digital capabilities to creating the foundations of a new reality—a shared reality that combines of physical ones of atoms and our digital ones of bits.
  • 3. #TechVision Technology Vision 2023 | When Atoms meet Bits #TechVision Technology Vision 2023 | When Atoms meet Bits 3 Four Technology Trends From generative AI to the metaverse—with technology advancing at accelerating speeds and becoming more woven into everyday life—it is important that the education sector prepare for the future. This year’s higher education companion to the Accenture Technology Vision 2023 explores how the four tech trends identified are shaping the future for educational institutions. Digital identity ID for everyone and everything Emerging forms of foundational ID like Learning and Employment Records are breaking down the walls that divide the physical and digital lives of students, faculty, staff, and future employers Your data, my data, our data Why transparency will become your most precious resource Institutions will become increasingly focused on data transparency, new data management architectures, and a thoroughly cybersecurity-trained workforce. Generalizing AI The radical edges— and possibilities— of intelligence Strategic deployment of AI tools can improve university improve services for students, staff, and faculty. However, this will require universities to understand their capabilities, track how they are advancing, and ethically promote those technologies.

They ensure resilience, security, and opportunity through the providing of critical credentials we need to navigate our lives. The possibilities for institutions to maximize impact for stakeholders—student, faculty, staff, and alumni—by standardizing identity practices are staggering. Emerging forms of foundational ID are breaking down the walls that divide the physical and digital lives of students, faculty, staff, and future employers – 84% of higher education executives agree their organizations are innovating around digital identity via tokenization. A continuous challenge in higher education is the successful credential transfer process. Currently, students who transfer lose 43% of their credits during this process*. Digital identity technologies like verifiable Learning and Employment Records (LERs) can solve a critical problem in the transfer process be 5 Finding balance While the next generation expects institutions will inherently know who they are and what they’ve accomplished– automatically making connections across different universities, schools, and departments – convenience must be balanced with security. Institutions need to future-proof themselves for a world where data sharing and ownership is dramatically different. Education N= 180 *Forbes: “The Dual Credit Risk in High Schools”

  • 7. #TechVision Technology Vision 2023 | When Atoms meet Bits #TechVision Technology Vision 2023 | When Atoms meet Bits Digital Identity Challenges For a central digital identity solution, there are limits imposed by existing regulations as well as cultural barriers. The key is enabling governance and programs to efficiently facilitate the move to modern identity platforms. CIOs should consider the need to re-tool the workforce on securely maintaining new platforms. As LERs become mainstream, universities will need to understand what other data should be issued to students to prove their abilities, creating a push for institutions to rethink their platforms. Schools must consider the variety of stakeholders with vested interested in data, security, and identity. There is a growing expectations from the actual students that they can receive their learning credentials in a way that allows them to own and self-manage (e.g., having a digital diploma at their fingertips), and so institutions will have to meet this demand. While students, parents, staff, and faculty have much to gain from increased personalization, legislatures and governing bodies may question the security of centralized digital identity management. 7 What can your institution do now? - Connect with institutions like Arizona State University’s Trusted Learner Network that are reimagining how to digital identity on their campus to understand their process – what may benefit at your institution? - Join organizations and initiatives focused on expanding digital identity to the higher education industry, such as the Digital Credentials Consortium and the European Blockchain Standards Infrastructure – how can you be on the frontier of the digital ID innovation?
