- How can quantum
computing help us predict
market sector growth ahead of time
and what will that mean
for our ability to build
and align our degree
programs slightly in advance
to this future state we see coming?
- Well, there's a great opportunity here
and I think as we talk about quantum,
we should realize that AI,
artificial intelligence,
and quantum computing are partners.
They work hand in hand.
Quantum computing is
becoming the engine for AI.
It's the power of quantum
computing to process massive files
in milliseconds that supercharges AI.
So as we're looking at
predictive analytics
and anticipating the future,
quantum will allow us
to analyze where we have
been, where we are going,
and predict for us what
programs, degrees, certificates,
what formats will be best to
reach the needs of students.
- How do you see quantum
computing helping us develop
personalized learning
programs that can better match
a student's engagement preferences?
- Yeah, I'm really excited about that
and really looking at adaptive learning
leading to individualized,
and then, ultimately, to
personalized learning.
I will begin with a caveat,
that as we get into this area,
we have to be aware of privacy
rights and potential issues.
So if a student is willing
to share, with limitations,
background information, as in the grades
they took in previous courses,
where they took those courses,
then quantum can take
control of designing programs
and even while the course is underway,
it can adapt to the achievements,
to the abilities of the
students, as well as backfill
where they might be
just a little bit foggy.
So this requires developing
two pools of data sets;
those of the student
and those of engagement, then of course,
creating a relational
database for the outcomes.
And this is a continuing process.
We see this, not only, for
students taking a course in 2020
or 2025, but throughout their career,
the students are going to continue
to build on their prior
knowledge in order to adapt
to the workplace
environment as it changes,
largely changing based on
technological advancements.
