Helping the Education Industry Learn and Ascend the Digital Technology CurveCognizant
Our framework and tool enables players in the educational ecosystem - educational institutions, publishers and technology providers - to efficiently evaluate new digital technologies in terms of innovation maturity, learner-centricity and the four dimensions of learning: space, schedule, style and supplement.
The evolution of society in recent years has been breathtaking, especially because of the research, development and innovation and the rapidly adaptation of the citizen to this big change. These changes in lifestyle, work, personal development, education, how we communicate, etc ... were unimaginable to our grandparents just 20 years ago.
This New Scenario directly affects the way that governments must tackle new challenges and paradigms of contemporary society. The impact of social networks and mobile devices, is the most comprehensive and global driver. And in the same way, the new advanced threats, has a very strong impact to social welfare and peaceful coexistence between people and countries.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Approach
– A transformational change methodology that is a blend of:
• Participatory action research based (focus on action, teamwork, openness
& knowledge/learning).
• Design thinking approaches (HCD, service design tools, co-design, UX
design, social innovation tools),
• Creative practices (devising, role-play, rehearsing)
• Management consultancy tools (visual and kinaesthetic approaches like
Business Model Canvas, as well as traditional change management tools),
– An agile step-change journey, taken across the (hierarchy of the)
organisation, facilitated to distill vision and mission and values
– Unleashes participants’ creativity and inventiveness, to ensure buy-in
– Focuses on building capacity and adaptability and awareness of the
continuously disrupted business landscape
3. Approach is
• a relevant framework for emerging technology management, for enterprises of
any scale and operational model
3
• as applicable to the potential disruptions of the technologies for web 3.0 as it
has been for the disruptions of web 1.0 and web 2.0
• cross disciplinary - IT/digital/computing + business strategy/development +
creative/design approaches to innovation & entrepreneuring/intrapreneuring
• action and research based; enabling internal learning and reflection, customer
participation, and rapid prototyping
• a digital toolkit, brand, and IP owned by Rudman Consulting, and an openly
available source set of resources
5. 2014: Every business is a digital business
• IT/digital & business strategy are no longer separate
– being a connected company demands a creative approach, networked leadership, social
innovation with customers, collaborative approaches to capacity builiding
• Web 3.0 technologies will be extremely disruptive & demand creative strategy
– approaches such as co-design, UX design, service design, action research, lean start-up
methods
• Large enterprises will become the disrupters around web 3.0
– but they will need develop creative practices and be more open / engaged, because the
way people collaborate with companies, enterprise, governments, institutions has changed
• Universities will be just as disrupted as creative industries enterprises
– HEI teaching pedagogy, research, learning, enterprise spin out, and core business models
and practices will have to rapidly adapt 5

2020: threats for HEIs
What will learning be (expected to) look and be like by Generation Z?
- Flexible and personalised
- Great media presentations which are interactive, engaging
- MOOCs: some learning expected to be online
- Cross-disciplinarity: arts/media & science/tech & business/entrepreneurship
High cost and level of long-standing debt following a college education
- courses have to provide academic learning and practical routes into jobs careers
Online EMBA/MBAs from top-ranked universities in the world capture lions’ share of market
“Half of the business schools in this country could be out of business in 10 years—or five,”
(Richard Lyons, Dean, Haas School of Business, Berkeley.
In Bloomberg Buiness Week, Mar 14th 2014)
16. 2020: threats for HEIs
Challenge to build a Digital Campus and change mindset to openness,
collaboration, contribution, power to the edge from heirarchy, distance,
exclusivity, ego.
The large institution will especially be impacted by the web 3.0 digital
disruptions of: crowdsourcing of micro funds/tasks/products, e-currency,
robots, space,open innovation, big data, nano tech, wearable computing and

2020: opportunities for HEIs
Demand for cheap education from emerging regions
- but flexibility & personalised preferred to free
Demand for virtual and satellite partnership campuses overseas
Rise of virtual and satellite campuses of developing nation universities hosted in the UK
Powerful market and reputation building opportunities for research that is impactful (and
“legible”) in business/communities/government: university campuses become dynamic hubs
of innovation, learning and collaboration
Learners can be engaged beyond campus for life if there is flexibility, digital platforms, and
appropriate leadership ensures strategies are put in place so that the university can innovate,
collaborate, and/or react to market conditions
18. 2020: opportunities for HEIs
Creativity, initiative, imagination, entrepreneurial flair, digital skills, networks,
emotional intelligence, and social skills as well as the ability to be a global
citizen will increasing be needed and valued by students (and employers).
Creative approaches; engagement with culture, communities, & networks;
digital skills; interdisciplinarity; personal & professional development will all be
essential for the academy to offer - this is the focus of the offer in the place
Meaning will matter to Generation Z just as much as money - social enterprise,
CIC, charitable, and other T/QBL models of business to be given just as much
profile
Niche market opportunity if schools can be responsive and relevant to the
emerging businesses and careers the web 3.0 digital disruptions will create &
encourage cross-disciplinarity
