Students arrive in higher education with mindsets and habits shaped by the digital platforms they use every day. Netflix, Spotify and Uber have normalised daily life experiences that feel simple, personalised, immediate and intuitive, and this has raised students’ expectations for seamless, user-centric experiences in other areas , an education expert says. “Higher education should not try to become on-demand entertainment. But it can certainly learn from the discipline behind these platforms. Students may not expect learning to be easy. Still, they increasingly expect the academic journey to be clear, connected and well supported,” says Nadia Landman, Head: Academic Quality Management Systems at The IIE and Advtech’s Academic Centre of Excellence . “A great student experience does not make higher education less rigorous. But it does make the path through that rigour clearer, more visible and better supported – an ideal all higher education institutions should be aiming for.” Landman says the simplicity of our ubiquitous modern-day platforms is often misunderstood. “Their ease of use is not accidental. It is the result of thoughtful design, continuous testing, data-informed improvement and rigorous quality assurance. Every recommendation, notification, search function and progress indicator is designed to reduce uncertainty and help users take the next step with confidence.” The role of data and AI in higher education Netflix and Spotify show how personalisation and curation can make complex content feel manageable. Behind the scenes, data, machine learning and artificial intelligence help these platforms understand patterns, recommend content and create a sense of relevance. “In higher education, the purpose is different. The goal is not to keep students scrolling. The goal is to help them stay engaged, supported and on track. Used responsibly, data and AI can help institutions identify when students may need support, improve communication and guide learners to the right resources at the right time,” Landman explains. This is where the learning Management System (LMS) becomes critical, she says. “Too often, the LMS becomes a digital filing cabinet filled with documents, announcements and links. A thoughtfully designed LMS should do more than store content. It should guide students through the module, showing them what they are learning, why it matters, what they need to do, when assessments are due and where feedback fits into their progress. It should therefore be a carefully designed learning environment that helps students understand what to do, why it matters and how each step connects to their progress, says Landman. Visibility builds trust Uber shows how visibility reduces uncertainty: users can track their driver, journey time and expectations. Higher education should do likewise, Landman says. “Students shouldn’t hunt for registration, fees, rules, assessment dates, feedback timelines, support services or escalation routes. The clearer the journey, the less confusion and anxiety. In higher education, visible registration status, accreditation, academic rules and support pathways signal trust and boost confidence in the institution and the learning journey.” Why this matters in Higher Education Trust must be earned continuously. Students and parents need assurance that an institution is legitimate, that qualifications are recognised and that the learning experience is well governed. “Visible, accurate and easy-to-understand signals - including accreditation, registration status, qualification details, academic rules and student support - do more than meet compliance. They form part of the student experience and demonstrate active quality management.” Student experience is quality assurance in action Student experience is integral to academic quality and outcomes, and it shows in programme design, LMS structure, assessment communication, feedback and support. “The lesson from our most-used apps is that simple-feeling experiences rely on careful design, robust systems and continuous improvement. This matters for today’s students and especially for Generation Alpha who expect intuitive, responsive and personalised digital journeys,” says Landman.  “The best institutions will not design only for the students they serve today. They will also pay close attention to the behaviours, expectations and support needs of the students who are coming next. Institutions that make quality visible and trust easy to earn will better navigate academic journeys and demonstrate mature governance.”

Deputy Minister for Higher Education and Training, Dr Mimmy Gondwe, kicked off sector-wide engagements by meeting Advtech’s senior leadership at Emeris’ Sandton campus on Monday, 8 June 2026. This follows her recent address at Advtech’s Rosebank International brand launch. The aim of these engagements is to recognise and collaborate with private institutions that positively contribute to the Post-School Education and Training sector. Advtech’s senior leadership discussed opportunities for public-private partnerships, including leveraging the agility of the private sector to widen access for students to quality education. During the visit, Dr Gondwe spent time with Emeris students and toured the campus’ world-class facilities, including its state-of-the-art sports centre. Said Dr Gondwe prior to the visit, “The conversation can no longer be about whether private higher education institutions have a role to play; that question has long been settled; the focus now is on collaborating more effectively and responsibly to ensure that higher education supports national development and inclusive economic growth.” “Advtech welcomes our positive recent engagements with Dr Gondwe. We look forward to collaborating with her department going forward and appreciate her commitment to finalising the process that will enable Emeris and Rosebank International to finally achieve university status,” said Geoff Whyte, Group CEO of Advtech.

Play should sit naturally in early childhood education, as it reflects how young children come to know themselves, others and the world. Yet too often, play is the very space that requires the most protection. This tension usually arises from a culture that prioritises early academic achievement and holds the belief that accelerating formal learning guarantees future success. When children are rushed or pressured into formalised academic outcomes too early, short-term gains may be visible for some, but the long-term cost can be significant, an education expert says. “Play is not separate from learning, it is the medium through which learning becomes possible,” says Lynda Eagle, Advtech Schools Specialist: Early Years Phase. “Early learning that prioritises performance over understanding risks weakening curiosity, motivation and wellbeing. Strong foundations are built not through acceleration, but through experiences that nurture thinking, communication, collaboration, and joy - conditions that sustain lifelong learning.” Eagle explains that children engage with play in ways that reflect their own pace, interests and needs. “It provides space for difference and diversity while offering opportunities for connection and shared experience. Importantly, play supports emotional regulation and prepares children for future learning by strengthening the foundations required for inquiry, reflection and participation in real-world contexts.” Play and responsiveness are often described as abstract concepts, yet they require intentional commitment from both educators and families, says Eagle. “Responsiveness asks adults to understand the value of play and to reflect on their role within it: how they observe, when they intervene, how they extend thinking and how they remain present without directing or interfering. By engaging in careful observation and thoughtful support, adults come to know children more deeply, including learning about their interests, strengths and emerging identities. “It also plays a big role in building key life skills - things like thinking deeply or critically, solving problems, working with others, communicating effectively and self-management. When children play, they’re constantly exploring new ideas, testing their theories, inventing solutions and figuring out how the world works. Along the way, they learn to take manageable risks and handle challenges. And, very importantly, to stick with things even when they’re difficult, which gradually builds their confidence and a real mindset for growth.” PLAY AND RESPONSIVENESS – IMPORTANCE OF PARTNERSHIPS Partnerships between families and educators are central to this work, Eagle says. “Together, they can create learning experiences that balance freedom and structure, offering both flexibility and clear boundaries. This balance provides children with emotional safety while teaching respect for themselves, for others and for the environment. Such stability supports the development of empathy, resilience and perseverance.”  Within these conditions, children form relationships, make connections, and gradually become independent learners. They develop conceptual understanding and learn to reason, transfer knowledge, and apply ideas in new contexts, moving from concrete experience toward more abstract thinking. “Any tension between our aspirations for children and our understanding of play and responsiveness deserves careful reflection,” Eagle warns. “When adults deepen their understanding of why play matters and how responsiveness supports learning, they are better positioned to guide children with intention and trust. Ultimately, early learning is not only about what children know, but about how they think, how they relate to others, and how they come to see themselves in the world, a world full of possibility.”
