\nTitle: Putting students first: How mobility enables adaptive education<\/p>\n
About 15 minutes into this talk, so far we’ve heard about ‘adaptability’ and ‘agility’ – which seem like platitudes to me. Of course we need to be able to adapt quickly to changing demands\/technology, but this is self-evident isn’t it?<\/p>\n
So – from an agility point of view, we need to
\nLook at simplifying the business process architecture
\nAdopt one single enterprise-class architecture
\nStandardize across all departments<\/p>\n
OK – so no argument with the first one, as long as it doesn’t impact on what we want to acheive (perhaps sometimes things need to complicated?)<\/p>\n
The second and third parts are both easier said than done. I think these are easy to assert, but we need to look at exactly what is needed. Perhaps flexibility at a dept level sometimes works in our favour. It also shows a complete disregard for how users actually work. If you force them to use a centralised system which doesn’t do what they want, you disenfranchise them, and they’ll probably find a ‘local’ workaround anyway – never underestimate your users.<\/p>\n
In the last few minutes of the talk, at last we’ve reached some mention of mobility. Unfortunately not very many insights here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
