AI University for UK? — from donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com by Donald Clark
Tertiary Education in the UK needs a fresh idea. What we need is an initiative on the same scale as The Open University, kicked off over 50 years ago.

It is clear that an educational vision is needed and I think the best starting point is that outlined and executed by Paul LeBlanc at SNHU. It is substantial, well articulated and has worked in what has become the largest University in the US.
It would be based on the competence model, with a focus on skills shortages. Here’s a starter with 25 ideas, a manifesto of sorts, based on lessons learnt from other successful models:
- Non-traditional students in terms of age and background
- Quick and easy application process
- Personalised learning using AI
- Multimodal from the start
- Full range of summarisation, create self-assessment, dialogue tools
- Focus on generative learning using AI
