As technology evolves and student expectations shift, the walls between the physical and digital campus blur. How can institutions be sure that students feel a sense of belonging in these hybrid environments?

The simple answer is to adopt a student-first philosophy. But while a student-centric approach may be able to help institutions attract, enroll, and even retain today’s learners, it can be a challenging to know where to apply this approach and which technologies to implement.

Hosted by The Chronicle of Higher Education, this webinar brings together a panel of college leaders to discuss how they are creating the best experience for their students. Learn what campus leaders are doing to create a student-centered college experience.

What does a student-centric approach actually look like as the divide between the digital and physical campus blurs?

The Great Resignation has disrupted the job market, leaving employers urgently seeking skilled workers to fill 11.3 million open positions. Individuals who wish to pursue many of these jobs need more education so they can learn the skills necessary to succeed. The challenge for institutions is that some learners don’t want to commit to a long application process or traditional 2- to 4-year programs; they want short-term, skills-based, flexible courses that can fit into their already busy schedules. Meanwhile, many colleges and universities are still leveraging outdated technologies that may not support non-traditional student enrollments or agile learning experiences. Institutions need to offer unbundled courses through modern, online experiences.  

This webinar dives into how new IT solutions address emerging challenges by helping institutions create modern online buying experiences that integrate with existing IT infrastructure. Presenters go over their experiences with unbundling courses and provide insight into how innovative solutions better serve today’s learners.
