Our work through the Contextualising Horizon project with the Australasian Society of Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ASCILITE) uncovered some powerful trends in Asia Pacific, including Indonesia, to help us prepare and plan for what awaits the higher education sector just beyond the horizon.

Seven postpandemic priorities

    • The pandemic also forced universities to address long-standing issues around mental health disparities and digital accessibility, which became more widespread during the pandemic.
    • In light of these changes, our project identified seven technology and practice priorities for higher education in the Asia Pacific region.
    • Redefining pedagogical practices Panelists questioned long-standing practices including exams and lectures and their continued relevance in the modern educational context.
    • For example, the Australia-based Transforming Exams project aims to enable authentic experiences, empowering learners by using discipline-specific computerised e-tools during campus-based exams.
    • One study suggests that active learning approaches and authentic assessments lead to a more engaging student learning environment, promote employability and improve student learning.
    • To accommodate this, it is likely that the role of campus spaces will evolve.
    • This is important for the future as we need to ensure workload returns to pre-pandemic amounts, particularly for staff.
