What Is This Session About?
In this rapidly evolving World of Work, driven by technological advancements like Industry 4.0 and AI tools such as ChatGPT, we must adopt a new approach to learning that emphasises the development of mindsets, skillsets, and sensibilities. This course begins by identifying the digital disruptions impacting the global workforce, with a specific focus on their heightened significance in Singapore — According to an Oxford Economics study with CISCO, 21% of Singaporean workers are projected to be displaced by digital disruptions by 2028, the highest percentage among ASEAN countries. Participants will explore the three key characteristics of digital disruptions and engage in discussions on how to best prepare students for these challenges. Practical examples and successful course curriculum redesigns will be shared. Participants will then redesign their own course curriculum, applying insights and strategies they have gained. This redesign will focus on fostering versatility, agility, and an ability to make sense of and transcend digital disruptions.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to take-away the following:
