Manage episode 253328744 series 2609815
KPMG’s Talking Tertiary is back with a second season in which we will be talking to 'The Disruptors' – the people leading change in the new market entrants and within the traditional institutions.
In the first episode of Season 2 Professor Stephen Parker AO talks with Beverley Oliver, Former Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Deakin University.
Beverley is a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and an Australian National Teaching Fellow. She works as a higher education consultant and researcher particularly in areas such as digital education, micro-credentials, curriculum transformation, quality assurance and graduate employability. She is the founder and editor of the Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate Employability.
Prior to this Beverley was Deputy Vice-Chancellor Education at Deakin University (2013-2018), Deputy Chair of Universities Australia’s Deputy Vice-Chancellors (Academic) (2018) and Deputy Chair of the Board of EduGrowth, a not-for-profit entity and Australia’s acceleration network for high-growth, scaleable, borderless education (2016-18).
In this episode Stephen and Beverley discuss the disruptive power of micro credentials and how they link in with the technologies and learning approaches that have the potential to change the landscape of the Education sector. They also touch on the importance of more certified learning in both formal and informal settings to ensure that the future workforce can upskill and reskill to meet the demands of the changing nature of work.
