Institute of Continuing Education (ICE)

 

In November, ICE hosted 22 Deans of Continuing Education from leading research-intensive universities, including Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley and Brown, for their annual meeting.

The universities represented at the meeting in Cambridge collectively oversaw more than 500,000 enrolments in the last year, again underlining the worldwide importance of continuing education. Across two days of meetings and throughout a superb formal dinner held at Madingley, the Deans’ explored a diverse range of issues facing the sector that reflect the modern demands of delivering continuing education – from student-support chatbots and blockchain-dependent qualification repositories to large-scale online courses and the 60-year curriculum.

“It’s clear that, in terms of student-centred learning innovations, continuing education units are now leading the way in some of the world’s greatest universities,” believes ICE’s Director of Continuing Education, Dr James Gazzard.
