UTS Connected Intelligence Strategy

> Aims to make UTS a world leading university of technology.

> Establishment of new curriculum offerings that enable students to develop the skills

they need to become professionals in an Internet of Everything world.

> Predictive Analytics for Student Performance: we use institutional data to identify areas

that will help improve educational outcomes, for example intervention strategies for

students at risk of withdrawing from a course of study prior to completion.

A university where staff and students understand data and, regardless of its volume and diversity, can use it and reuse it, store and curate it, apply and develop the analytical tools to interpret it. Data enriches all aspects of the university and provides a springboard for creation and innovation. UTS graduates will be outstanding professionals who lead practice in their various fields and shape the world. UTS staff will be recognised as leading teachers and practitioners in this field.

MOOC – Revolutionising Education on Global Scale

> Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) – they are free!

> MOOCs represent a postindustrial model of teaching and learning that has the

potential to undermine and replace the >1000 year business model of institutions

that depend on recruiting and retaining students for location-bound, proprietary

forms of campus-based learning

Strategy:

Connect + Inspire through Creativity + Technology in pursuit of IoE
