Also included in the conference were tracks, parallel sessions, demonstrations and exhibitions, together with 2 international speakers and 8 from the African continent.
Dr Deliwe presented her work-in-progress project on Day 1 of the conference, which is titled: “The Future of Higher Education Institutions”. Dr Deliwe presented some of the highlights of the project thus far, which involved discussing some of the considerations that Higher Education Institutions must make when preparing for the future of higher education. These considerations exist within five main areas/topics, which include: Emerging technologies, Data-driven institutions, Knowledge management and e-learning, New examination methods, and Customer value.
It is hoped that this exciting research can make a valuable contribution to the future of the higher education landscape.
