Challenges include implementing necessary technologies, addressing privacy and ethics, and determining what data to capture and how to analyze it.

Digital horizon: The intelligent campus

From a session at the Jisc CNI Library Consultation - Libraries at the heart of the institution. This event aims to explore the role of libraries in UK education over the next 10 years and beyond. With a focus on the changing digital landscape we want to promote a discussion about what this means for UK higher education libraries, how we will meet the challenges of tomorrow, and work together to place libraries at the heart of our institutions to enhance the experience of our staff and students. An overview of Jisc’s intelligent campus project, our direction of travel and why.

Bridge the Gap

The Challenge of the Intelligent Library - UKeiG Presentation

There has been plenty of hype over artificial intelligence and the internet of things. Is it time to put aside the cynicism that this kind of hype generates and look seriously at how we can take advantage of these emerging technologies to improve the student experience and build an intelligent library? The internet of things makes it possible for us to gather real-time data about the environment and usage of our library spaces. It is easy to imagine using this data to ensure the library is managed effectively, but could we go further and monitor environmental conditions in the library, or even, using facial recognition software, student reactions as they use the library so that we can continually refine the learning experience? Most smartphones now make use of artificial intelligence to make contextual recommendations based on an individual’s location and interests. Could libraries take advantage of this technology to push information and learning resources to students? If we could, it offers some interesting possibilities. On-campus notifications could nudge students to make best use of the available services such as the library. Off-campus notifications could encourage them to take advantage of the learning opportunities all around them. Could we use approaches like this to turn student’s smartphones into educational coaches, nudging students towards the choices that lead to higher grades and prompting them to expand their learning horizons. As we start to use a range of tracking technologies, smart cards, beacons, sensors we are facing a deluge of data in the use of buildings, spaces and equipment across a college or university campus. We are faced with a breadth and depth of data which can be challenging to use effectively and have greatest impact. These tracking technologies are already widespread in environments such as airports and retail. Often using wifi tracking to track users via their wifi enabled devices and smartphones. In addition sensors are used to track space utilisation and occupancy. Interpreting the data is fraught with challenges and difficulties, as well as potential ethical and legal issues. However this wealth of data does offer the potential to deliver more satisfying experiences for students and staff as well as ensuring the library is used as effectively as possible.

Jisc aims to support UK universities through technology and digital transformation. It provides digital infrastructure and services to improve education and research. Jisc's vision is for UK institutions to be world leaders in applying technology. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need for technology-enabled learning. Jisc's report recommends universities embed digital culture, invest in blended learning, and ensure inclusivity and accessibility in curriculum redesign. Going forward, Jisc will help universities in areas like leadership, learning and teaching, student experience, and research through solutions, advice and partnerships.

Dual Mode Teaching

This document discusses dual-mode or hybrid teaching, where students are taught both face-to-face in a classroom and online simultaneously. It notes that dual-mode teaching works best when it combines the in-person and online experience into a cohesive whole that keeps the class together and allows all students to be included. However, it cautions that dual-mode teaching should only be used if it is pedagogically appropriate for both in-person and remote students and there is adequate staffing to fully integrate remote students. The challenge is to provide an equitable experience for both groups using technologies not originally intended for this type of dual delivery.

The iPad is the Future of Reading

What do we understand by Education 4.0 and the potential impact on universities?

How will teaching be transformed? What does personalised adaptive learning look like? Could we re-imagine assessment? Do we need to build a fluid digital campus? What needs to be in place to make that happen? What do you need to do, to make that happen? What about privacy, ethics and security? Digital is core to the UK’s higher education sector, enhancing and creating efficiencies across all aspects of the student experience and supporting staff in delivering excellence. Jisc is the UK digital body dedicated to the education and research communities. Jisc’s vision is for the UK to be the best research and education nation in its use of digital technologies. “New technologies and approaches are merging the physical, digital, and biological worlds in ways that will fundamentally transform humankind. The extent to which that transformation is positive will depend on how we navigate the risks and opportunities that arise along the way. The changes are so profound that, from the perspective of human history, there has never been a time of greater promise or potential peril.” – The Fourth Industrial Revolution by Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum The UK education sector needs to transform to meet the requirements of industry 4.0 and student expectations. Artificial intelligence and mixed reality will play a critical role in successfully upskilling, retraining and assessing our workforce to ensure no one is left behind. The world of Industry 4.0 is one of high-level skills such as analysts, AI wranglers, problem solvers and creatives, but also a world of dexterity, such as artisans, carers and robot carers and maintainers.

Learning and teaching

- The document discusses priorities and initiatives for higher education learning and teaching, including: - Developing learning analytics and personalization services, as well as digital skills and capabilities. - Creating an "Intelligent Campus" using data to improve the student experience and institutional efficiencies. - Launching a "Sticky Campus Roadshow" to demo a mobile digital classroom. - Publishing reports on next generation digital learning environments and teaching practices. - Working with universities to prototype new digital learning services and approaches.

NGLE Introduction

Jisc has published reports on next generation learning environments and teaching practices in higher education and further education. It is working with universities and colleges to understand changing behaviors and needs of staff and students. Jisc aims to develop an understanding of next generation digital learning, explore and create prototype new services, and trial new approaches by partnering with innovative individuals.

Intelligent Campus introduction

The document discusses an "Intelligent Campus" project that aims to improve the student experience, make smarter use of campus space, and increase organizational efficiencies through the use of data and technology. It notes the project has engaged over 120 universities and colleges and is collaborating with a small number of pilot programs to test uses of an intelligent campus technology infrastructure.

The Intelligent Science Park

Smart buildings and spaces are already here; the technology, sensors and data analysis capability are all available, but it isn’t all joined up and so has limited scope in terms of what we can learn and how we can use the knowledge. Could we build not just a smart science park, but start to build an intelligent science park, where data from the physical, digital and online environments can be combined and analysed, opening up vast possibilities for more effective use of spaces, buildings, energy, people, and then some…

What is required of us as educators for the future

Building the Intelligent Campus

The smart campus is already here; the technology, sensors and data analysis capability is all available, but it isn’t all joined up and so has limited scope in terms of what we can learn and how we can use the knowledge. In order to enhance the student experience, allow for more effective and efficient use of space, could we take the smart campus and make it intelligent? Universities and colleges spend billions on their campuses, yet they are frequently underutilised and are often a frustrating experience for students. In this session, I will describe the campus of the future. How does a traditional campus become a smart campus? What are the steps to make a smart campus, an intelligent campus? We have an opportunity to provide our members with a service that can help them address that problem. If we extend our learning analytics infrastructure to collect data from a wider range of institutional software and devices then we can deliver novel insights to institutional managers to help them make their campuses more efficient, improve student experience and deliver higher quality teaching. The future intelligent campus service aims to find effective ways to use data gathered from the physical estate and combine it with learning and student data from student records, library systems, the virtual learning environment (VLE) and other digital systems. This session will describe what data can be gathered, how it can be measured and explore the potential for enhancing the student experience. It will demonstrate and explain to the delegates what the exciting future of the intelligent campus. Importantly I will also ask delegates to consider the ethical issues when implementing an intelligent campus as well as the legal requirements.
