What superpowers could higher education have if it was fully data-capable?
Date: November 12, 2025
Time: 14:00 – 14:45
Location: Second stage
Imagine a world where universities could see and understand the whole picture, every interaction, every barrier, every bit of useful information and could use that insight to design learning, support, information systems and engage with students and colleagues in a way that actually works. This session seeks to understand what’s possible when institutions move beyond compliance and towards a truly data-driven culture. One where data isn’t just for those with “data” in their job title, but for all to use to enhance and make their work more efficient.
Join Clare Walsh and Martha Horler to look at where the sector is now when it comes to data capability, how we can utilise our existing strengths and to imagine what would be possible if higher education became fully data capable.
