| | August 20176CIOReviewAccording to the National Center for Education Statistics, an estimated 20.9 million students are expected to sign up for higher education in 2017. It is evident that the enrollment rates this fall will outbid the previous year's by as much as five million university goers in the U.S. For university authorities, these figures are pronouncing a rather challenging time in terms of ensuring student outcomes for the increasingly wider audience.Expecting a major disruption in the higher education sector in the next five years, several technology giants have long since taken a keen interest in helping universities overcome the mass conundrum. Blended learning technology and mobile workspaces for education have made inroads into the sector, relieving a sizeable portion of the burden for college and university managements. What's more, experts believe that the development of newer forms of human computer interaction (HCI) technology will soon gain traction and serve niche markets like higher education.HCI technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, and its much recent relative, mixed reality are underway, in an attempt to revamp the existing learning space. More advancement in the fields of cognitive computing and NLP are helping faculties gain insights into graduate learning behaviors, attendance, and aptitude levels, and sowing the seeds for a distant-future: a classroom-less education paradigm. If NASA can teach Alexa to understand and respond to questions such as "give an update on the MARS rover," then the idea of having a virtual AI-guided tutor is just in the vicinity. Although in its nascent stage, the promise of a chatbot managing a graduate's every academic need looks alluring and certain.In this special edition on campus technology, we bring to you powerful insights from leaders in the industry, along with articles on solution providers who contribute into making the transition to a sophisticated higher education system, a smooth trail.Let us know your thoughts!Copyright © 2017 ValleyMedia, Inc.
