Beyond the technology: what can the UK learn from the rest of the world? Education 4.0 with the University of Bath

12 November 2020

This week our guest is Dr Chris Bonfield, a technology enhanced learning manager from the University of Bath. Chris is a once medical medieval historian-turned future gazer, who’s research explores education 4.0 around the globe.

Chris’s experience gives him a unique perspective about the potential that technology has to enrich the educational experience. We chat all about his findings and what the UK can learn from the rest of the world, what’s driving the change in employment and how higher education can react to industry 4.0.
