As we look ahead to 2023, it's clear that the landscape of higher education is rapidly evolving. There are several key trends that are expected to shape the future of higher education in the coming year.
Micro-credentials
Micro-credentials, such as online certificates or badges, are becoming increasingly popular as a way for students to demonstrate their expertise in a specific area. Traditional degrees are no longer the only way to demonstrate knowledge and skills, and micro-credentials offer a more flexible and tailored approach. They allow students to focus on specific areas of interest and build expertise in those areas without committing to a full degree program. This trend is likely to continue as more and more employers recognize the value of micro-credentials in demonstrating knowledge and skills. For example, students majoring in information systems can seek to take outside certifications such as Google Garage or coding accreditations to show future employers an added level of skills. Tools like Kokomo CREDENTIALS™ can help employers track these micro-credentials in a centralized dashboard, along with automated reminders for upcoming expirations. By seeking out these types of certifications, students can differentiate themselves in a competitive job market and demonstrate their dedication to staying current in their field.
Mental Health
Mental health is also becoming an increasingly important issue in higher education. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges and stresses for students, and universities are placing a greater emphasis on mental health support services. This includes things like counseling, wellness resources, and stress management tools to help students manage their mental health and well-being. A great tool that can help schools keep track of all students’ mental health is Kokomo FORMS™. FORMS™ allows custom surveys to help administrators collect student feedback and direct students who require additional help to the appropriate resources.
Employability
Employability is a top concern for many students, and universities are responding by offering more experiential learning opportunities such as internships and co-op programs, and by partnering with employers to provide real-world experience for their students. These programs allow students to gain practical experience in their field of study, which can be a valuable asset when it comes time to enter the job market. Universities are also placing a greater emphasis on career services and job placement assistance to help students find employment after graduation.
Data Literacy
Data literacy is another important trend that is likely to shape the future of higher education. As data becomes an increasingly important part of our lives, it's essential that students have the skills and knowledge to navigate and understand it. Universities are beginning to incorporate data literacy into their curriculum, teaching students how to collect, analyze, and use data to inform their decision-making. This is an increasingly important skill in a world where data is driving many of the decisions we make, and it will be important for students to have these skills to succeed in their careers.
Safety and Security
Safety and security is another important issue in higher education. Universities are increasingly taking steps to ensure that their campuses are safe and secure environments for students, faculty, and staff. This includes things like security patrols, emergency preparedness plans, and the use of technology to monitor and respond to potential safety threats.
Kokomo was founded to help make schools safer. Kokomo's software platform is designed to better manage the risks universities face every day. Our robust tools work to help with incident management, communications, guest management, collecting student feedback, and more.
Technology
Technology is also playing a significant role in the evolution of higher education. From virtual reality to artificial intelligence, universities are exploring a range of technologies to enhance the learning experience and improve student outcomes. These technologies offer new and innovative ways for students to learn and engage with course material, and they have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about education. It's likely that we'll see continued adoption of these technologies in the
