Keeping time with elegance and precision, there exists a name that stands above all others—Rolex watches. These timepieces are not merely instruments, they are finely crafted chapters in the rich history of horology—a place of weaving a legacy of sophistication and innovation in between metal pieces. The mere utterance of “Rolex watches” creates an atmosphere of timeless luxury, where painstaking craftsmanship meets state-of-the-art technology From the iconic Oyster Perpetual to the illustrious Submariner, every Rolex creation is a living legend and a symbol of unwavering dedication to excellence. Such accuracy would have baffled Einstein himself in his theories of time and relativity.

Let us unravel the mystique concealed behind the crown, where each tick of a Rolex watch resonates with the heartbeat of horological mastery.

The Beginning of a New Era Founded by Hans Wilsdorf, rather than any “Hans Rolex” as any of us would have guessed, in the year 1905, in London. He aimed to make it short and simple, a name that was easy to pronounce in any language. Moreover, the term “Rolex” possessed onomatopoeic qualities, echoing a sound like the winding of a watch. It is practicality shone through, given that the name was compact enough to effortlessly grace the face of any watch.

Wilsdorf’s profound appreciation for precision timekeeping paved the way for the Rolex watches to surge in popularity in 1910. That pivotal year marked a historic milestone as Rolex became the inaugural wristwatch to bear the esteemed Swiss certificate of chronometric precision, bestowed by the official Watch Rating Centre in Switzerland. This certification proved transformative, sparking a notable uptick in sales.Read More...

4 TECHNOLOGY T

STRATEGIES FOR FUTURISTIC HIGHER EDUCATION

INSTITUTIONS 44 | December

he higher education institutions has come a long way since the pandemic.

When colleges and universities were forced to close suddenly, they pivoted to continue providing education to learners.

Remote learning became a norm, but moving further, it seems like only the tip of the iceberg.

Technology has emerged as a game-changer for the industry in many ways.

According to McKinsey, faculty and students are keen to use innovative learning technologies adopted during the COVID-19 phase. However, higher education institutions need to go the extra mile to enhance teaching and learning experiences for everyone. The best way to do it is by adopting a well-rounded innovation plan.

We will highlight some actionable technology strategies for progressive higher education institutions looking to deliver innovation.

functionalities for non-technical users with minimal technical knowledge or coding skills to create and update website content.

Innovation in Blended Learning

According to Vital Design, 90% of universities rely upon a few popular content management systems. These include WordPress, Drupal, OMNI CMS, Cascade CMS, and Terminalfour.

A good one should have features like a responsive design, user access control, high performance, multilingual support, multimedia capabilities, and accessibility compliance.

According to a recent survey, nearly half the students continue to favor hybrid learning. That’s years after the pandemic first struck. Nothing matches the convenience of learning on the go.

Moreover, students can save time and money on commuting and even stay back home instead of moving closer to campus.

Adoption of Assistive Technologies Besides the convenience factor, a study established that blended learning can produce higher test scores and better outcomes compared to traditional faceto-face learning. Another survey showed its efficacy for higher levels of student engagement.

Higher education institutions should find innovative ways to combine inperson instruction with online resources. While the pandemic has already set the stage for blended learning, new technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, better collaboration tools, and gamification can take it a notch higher.

A Robust Higher Education CMS Setting up a blended learning system is only a start for progressive colleges and universities. They should invest in a platform to facilitate the creation, publication, and management of content on the institution’s website. It enables learners to submit assignments and publish research papers.

Administrative teams can use it to update information on the student portal.

Additionally, it streamlines and simplifies time-consuming and repetitive processes such as reporting and workflows. A robust higher education CMS provides tools and

According to a 2022 survey covering 33,000 American college students from 51 schools, around 15% percent of respondents reported attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Nearly 3% stated they had autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Physical disabilities are also common among US higher education students.

Institutions should, therefore, integrate accessibility into their technology strategy. On-campus programs are at the forefront when it comes to accommodating students with disabilities. However, it can be challenging in remote learning environments. The following steps can help universities provide quality education to students, regardless of their abilities: Ÿ

Ÿ Ÿ

Ÿ Ÿ

Offer course content in multiple disability-friendly formats such as videos, summaries, and written transcripts Creating audio descriptions of diagrams and images Choosing a learning management system with built-in accessibility tools such as keyboard-only navigation and screen reading Emphasizing inclusivity during live meetings and online classes Paying attention to microaggressions on discussion boards

Educators should collaborate with IT leaders to adopt the best accessibility strategies. A combination of tools and policies can foster equal access to learning, whether on-campus or online.

Learning Analytics Learning Analytics is another valuable technology for higher education institutions. It refers to the in-depth study data about student behavior and finding its correlation with performance and learning outcomes. Universities can also leverage it to personalize learning experiences, assess the effectiveness of teaching methods, and identify atrisk students.

According to statistics, the learning analytics market is projected to reach $ 78.1 Billion by 2028, moving at an impressive growth rate (CAGR) of 17% during 2023-2028. Not adopting this technology can push higher education providers behind the competitors. Conversely, using it correctly can help them enhance the quality of education and their reputation.

Wrapping Up Futuristic universities should think beyond providing online learning facilities. Since it is something everyone else is doing, it hardly becomes a winning advantage. Being progressive is about going the extra mile.

The best way to do it is by restrategizing and adopting innovation to create a more engaging, efficient, and accessible learning environment for students and educators alike. Besides enhancing learning experiences, the right technology strategies can help institutions streamline administrative processes and stay competitive in the digital age.
