AV SuperFriends: On Topic - This should be better than my high school

Recorded August 18, 2023

Let’s talk about the Student Experience.  And that’s really why we’re all here, isn’t it?  We discuss what students are expecting from a university in 2023, advocating for students when no one else will, and crushing everything down to be delivered by Zoom or Teams.  After all, we  have one chance to get it right; are we cutting corners that puts that all at risk?

After we’re done complaining, we also discuss some good examples of technology-enabled spaces that put the student experience first– esports, maker spaces, informal learning spaces, and more.
