Artificial intelligence is transforming higher education by enabling systems to communicate and collaborate in new and powerful ways. We will examine the integration of AI tools across platforms, highlighting how seamless communication between systems can improve decision-making, personalize student experiences, and streamline institutional workflows. This session will also share one powerful example of how National University has harnessed the power of virtual reality (VR) training initiatives to offer immersive, hands-on experiences within simulated environments in training our future nurses. We will discuss how VR can bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application, providing students with valuable skills while meeting the evolving needs of both academic and professional worlds. Join us to learn how these interconnected AI and VR systems are shaping the future of academia.
