In this special one-off episode of the Deep Blue, SPP Principal Clara Yates is joined by Partner Bruce Bayley to chat about the future of online education.

Over the past several months SPP has spoken to a cross section of higher education senior leaders to gather their perspectives on the current online education landscape, and their predictions for the future.

Bruce and Clara walk through the key themes that emerged from these discussions, and what it means for universities going forward.

Key Take-Aways:

• It’s time to move beyond the “face to face vs online” dichotomy
• When looking to online education as a growth engine, universities should focus on market driven opportunities
• Rich data and personalisation are critical benefits of online learnings models that are still largely untapped
• Universities need to be honest with themselves about their capability and capacity to deliver quality online and blended education
• Online offers increased market reach and can help solve a lot of accessibility challenges, but it’s not a panacea
• Cultural barriers to online education among university staff remains a challenge
• Universities shouldn’t underestimate the level of investment required to adapt and thrive in this rapidly evolving environment
