Your next wave of students – Generation Alpha – are ready to join your college. More than 90% of the 500+ U.S. middle schoolers we surveyed want to attend college. But their expectations are high. They expect mobile-first, AI-enabled, technology-powered hybrid and flexible learning.
This webinar presents unique insights into Generation Alpha’s digital behavior, learning habits, technology concerns and college expectations. Commissioned by AppsAnywhere and carried out by The Insights Family, this research leans on data from 3,000+ respondents from across the U.S.
We will aim to answer some crucial questions for higher education such as:
• How are Generation Alpha’s attitudes to learning shifting compared to their predecessors?
• What are their expectations around what and how they learn?
• Are institutions prepared to meet their demands for responsive, personalized, and technology-enabled education?
What you’ll walk away with
• A deep-dive into the research findings
• Strategic considerations to inform your student engagement and digital strategy
• A checklist of what your IT, student experience and teaching teams need to review right now: from device strategies and BYOD to software access, to hybrid learning models
