Education being Disrupted by Technology:

There are few fields being disrupted to the degree which education is being disrupted today. The connectivity of streaming video paired with the blistering pace of new technologies is impacting all existing fields of study, creating an incredibly trying landscape for higher education institutions. Even fields traditionally thought to be untouched by technology such as the humanities and art are being revolutionized by technology. For Universities and Colleges tech poses a challenge on two fronts; Curriculum and Boards are the primary areas most directly challenged by tech.

Value Offering of Higher Education:

Although information is readily available online in nearly any format desired, it is not organized in a consistent manner and streamlined to ensure the education is on that meets the needs of employers. Apart from organization, Universities and Colleges are human networks capable of connecting people in ways pure information cannot. Pairing such an offering with a cutting edge, dynamic, adaptable curriculum that prepares students to become leaders of the workforce of the future is the key advantage the most successful Universities and Colleges can utilize to their advantage.

High Velocity, Dynamic Curriculum:

For nearly all fields, technology is now on equal footing with the content. A student heading out into the workforce devoid of technical knowledge is at a severe disadvantage to students well versed in technology. Due to the importance of technology in work and education, all curriculum needs a segment on technology to ensure alignment with the field. However, the pace of technical change in each field is so incredibly niche and moves with such velocity, it would take an army of specialized, technical staff to keep up with the changes. How can this be addressed?

Tech Specialty Applied to your Curriculum:

Although it is important for the administration and staff to be well versed in technology, it is an impossibility to be versed to the extent needed in order to keep up with the pace of change. This is not something Ocuit clients need to do anymore; this is the exact task the Ocuit Innovation Platform was created to do. Our Innovation Advisor works with Universities and Colleges across all their Colleges to ensure the Curriculum is up to date.

Board Tech Advisory:

Although Curriculum is an easy challenge to action once the right information is presented, staffing future education paths, closing down obsolete paths, and managing colleges starts to seem more like fortune telling than the business of educating. Our Board Advisory services help to achieve this by providing 3 strategic timeframes for managing your institution. We provide AI aided advisory services covering near-term, mid-term and long-term time horizons to ensure you track and stay ahead of strategic needs.
