Speech Title: Learning-Experience Design and Digital Transformation in Lifelong Education

Abstract: Lifelong education is mostly initiated and managed by the learner and mostly done through the internet. This presentation discusses how to design learning experiences for effective and motivating lifelong education in the digital age. It begins by offering guidance for the main concerns of the learner: (a) how to find learning resources for one’s learning goals, somewhat akin Amazon and the App Store, and (b) how to judge the quality of those resources through user reviews and expert reviews. Then it offers guidance for the main concerns of the learning experience designer: (a) how to design project-based learning that enhances motivation and transfer, has multiple levels of certifications/badges, and utilizes virtual reality and augmented reality to merge the learning experience with real-world environments, and (b) how to design just-in-time tutorials for use during the projects to enhance efficiency, transfer, motivation, and certification of mastery utilizing artificial intelligence. Finally, the presentation offers guidance for the process of designing such learning experiences, including (a) deciding which learner needs, interests, and competencies to address, including levels and progressions of competence, (b) deciding on a variety of learning experiences/projects for each level of competence as viewed from the learner’s perspective using a holistic, top-down, systemic approach, (c) designing the just-in-time tutorials for all competencies as viewed from the “teacher” perspective, (d) formatively evaluating throughout the design process, and (e) using ChatGPT or Bing to help with these design tasks.

Speech Title: Digitalization of Supply Chain Management: An Innovative Management

Abstract: This paper represents theory and evolution of Supply Chain Management (SCM), as the least innovations in Research, as well as highlights chronological prospective of SCM in terms of time frame in different areas of manufacturing and service industries. The objective of SCM is to incorporate activities across and within organizations for providing the customer/stakeholders value. SCM has been widely researched in numerous application domains during the last decade. Despite the popularity of SCM research and applications, considerable confusion remains as to its meaning.
There are several attempts made by researchers and practitioners to appropriately define SCM. Amidst fierce competition in all industries, SCM has gradually been embraced as a proven managerial approach to achieving sustainable profits and growth. This keynote would illustrate SCM from the raw material materials to finished products, i.e., suppliers to consumer at the various industries. This keynote speech would demonstrate educational supply chain model (ITESCM – Integrated Tertiary Educational Supply Chain Management) as an example of a service industry. Due to application of AI, Automation, Blockchain, Bigdata, etc., this keynote speech demonstrates digital SCM, eventually sustainable SCM for the betterment of the society.
