My comment at #WISE11: #AI is seriously disrupting the #highereducation model. Now, the blackbox that is the classroom, can be any place, any time. Also, we should assure a more inclusive, relevant & flexible #highered in the #AI era. @QF @yojanasharma universityworldnews.com/post-mobile.ph…

While we are still figuring out the disruption of #AI in #education, risks on equality, learning, sovereignty & culture should be addressed now. Great summary by @yojanasharma at @uniworldnews of discussions held at the #WISE11 Summit hosted by @QF in Doha universityworldnews.com/post-mobile.ph…

Today, we are hosting a group of new university presidents & emerging #highered leaders in @QF’s #EducationCity, at the premier #IAUP Development Seminar co-hosted with @QatarUniversity & @UDSTOFFICIAL. Great common learning experience.

Higher Ed friends: You are given the opportunity to start a new university from scratch. What elements of the current model of higher education do you keep, what do you abandon, and what fresh ideas do you bring in? Go.
