A Student-Centric Approach to Higher Education Marketing in 2022

A Student-Centric Approach to Higher Education Marketing in 2022 | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
The last year has revealed a demand for flexibility in higher education which will endure well beyond the pandemic. Against a backdrop of declining enrollment, online and distributed lifestyles are becoming commonplace, and more students are demanding the ability to work and study on their own schedules. This has huge implications not just for the way you structure your online and nontraditional programs, but also how you can effectively reach these students and market to them.

We’ve identified three key higher education recruitment strategies to attract and enroll nontraditional students in this transformed environment. In case you haven’t heard, we’ve recently merged with Anthology – and this gives us even greater insight into the modern student and some great new ways to engage them.

Leadership for Digital Transformation

Leadership for Digital Transformation | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it

Digital transformation (Dx) in higher education is the process of using digital technologies to refine and enhance students' experiences by improving their interactions with instructional services, support teams, and other critical areas of campus operations. Dx is not limited to digitizing business processes and making additions to the technology portfolio; it calls for implementing new ways of learning and leading, fostering a culture shift, and aligning strategy, talent, and resources across the organization. Dx is a change process that demands a unique vision, perspective, and set of leadership skills to be successful. That is why some change practitioners see Dx as more of a leadership challenge than a technical one.

Is the university education model forever changed?

Is the university education model forever changed? | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
If you were to think back to before the pandemic, how would you describe the mode of teaching and study most reflective of what happens in our universities? At the risk of adding to the terminology around modality - I’d describe it as digitally-facilitated - in that the experience was not one in which digital technologies were omitted, but one in which they played a largely supplementary role.

Now though, we’re led to believe that the new model for universities going forward will entail digital technologies playing a much bigger role in the experience. 

This, in fact, has long been the aspiration of many UK universities. You just have to read strategy documents published prior to the pandemic to see that clearly stated in print. But it would be hard to argue that those aspirations were met prior to the pandemic. 

The model that prevailed was one in which the educational experience was strongly weighted towards the campus rather than equally shared with digital technologies. So this begs the question - has the pandemic really fast-forwarded universities to a long-desired state?

One of the first questions you could pose by way of seeking to answer this - is do universities have the digital technology necessary to support such a change of model?
