What is clear is that there is no silver bullet to solving the retention problem.

Instead, there are a myriad of solutions that can help universities to track, understand and intervene in a student’s journey.

How can lecturers use AI to tackle some of the big educational challenges?

This was just one of the questions posed at the Chartered Association of Business Schools event in Manchester. Pearson sponsored and attended the event, hearing about developments in AI, inclusion and student engagement as well as running workshops.

Education, and the way students learn, is changing all the time.  

Digifest 2019 gave us the chance to find out more about the emerging trends in Higher Education, see how technology is influencing teaching and learning and listen to case studies from universities across the country forging ahead with these new developments.  

The two day event at the ICC in Birmingham was packed with insights, tips and emerging trends from the HE and FE sectors.  

At Pearson, we create tools to support learners at every stage of their journey. Hearing from those institutions using technology to improve learner experiences was a great way to really understand the challenges facing leaders today.  

Hundreds of delegates took part in workshops, interactive presentations and heard from some of the leading voices on digital developments in teaching and learning.
