How can edtech address some of the greatest challenges facing HE leaders?

This primer is for time-pressed HE leaders. It offers an overview of current issues and innovation in three topical areas:

• assessment
• student engagement
• digital solutions for a smarter campus

We highlight exciting examples of innovation in these areas and offer market maps of the startups, established players, gaps, opportunities and new innovators in each space. They are areas where innovation is evolving fast and it’s important for leaders to have an understanding of how the sector is responding.

This paper is based on research interviews with HE leaders and edtech founders, case studies and desk-based research.

"...taken as a whole, this report provides a set of valuable snapshots that will help you keep track of what’s happening in the sector globally and how new digital developments might affect your students and staff. I hope you find it as useful as I do."
