Technology Intervention: Rethinking the Role of Education and Faculty in the Transformative Digital Environment

Abstract

The Problem Technology has affected almost every aspect of our lives, including education. Higher education is shifting the dynamics of delivery methods from traditional face-to-face to online to blended modes. Many universities are reaching a physical space capacity and therefore are attempting to increase online enrollment and geographical footprint. These changes are shifting the nature of higher education and how faculty are being viewed, evaluated, and, to some degree, hired. This article will focus on highlighting the challenges and opportunities of utilizing technology within universities, especially human resource development (HRD) programs. The Solution Technology is transforming higher education. Institutions can serve as an incubator to reimagine and redesign education altogether for the good of society. Online, mobile, and blended learning have become a part of our future. An important step is tracking how these models are actively enriching learning outcomes. Universities must be at the forefront of advancing progressive learning approaches and understanding the impact of technology on faculty and students. The Stakeholders The key stakeholders for this article include faculty, students, and university administrators. It will also affect businesses and human resource professionals for talent acquisition.

Mediating effect of strategy on competitive pressure, stakeholder pressure and strategic performance management (SPM): evidence from HEIs in Indonesia

“…In the digital era of knowledge economy, higher education plays a more critical role than ever. Competence in terms of both human capital and advanced technology have transformed education for the good of society (Rosenbusch, 2020). Today, the welfare of society depends more on intangible assets rather than tangible resources.…”

The Impact of Technological and Infrastructural Facilities on Student’s Learning: A Change Management Perspective

“…In today's ubiquitous technological and digital environment, Higher Education Institutes are providing the opportunity of Machine Learning (ML) to software engineering, computer science, business-oriented students, and other education-related degree programs. (Kann, 1983) stated that the purpose of Machine learning is to train computers with the help of Artificial Intelligence to follow patterns to predict some behavior or circumstance or to detect some phenomenon (Rosenbusch, 2020). Many higher education institutes have administered strong network routes which also provides added advantage to the management of the educational institutes in terms of managing all academic activities.…”

The virtual human resource development (VHRD) approach: an integrative literature review

“…Virtual learning environments are often designed as applications in which people and digital objects integrate into one system, which is known as Webbing In . In this environment, digital items such as online learning environments, 3 D virtual worlds and serious games and virtual reality/mixed reality are considered as parts of the virtual environment, all of which are used as tools to enhance learning in VHRD environments (Bennett, 2014b, Li, 2016; Khandelwal and Upadhyay, 2019; and Rosenbusch, 2020). Previous studies indicated that employees get more engaged in virtual learning environments when learning tools such as VSP are used in VHRD processes.…”
