Of late the world at large has been all about the Agile framework. Agile proved vital in software development compared to the latter IT methods of the 90s. All the good didn\u2019t go unnoticed as other sectors like the Human Resources and of course the Education sector, specifically at tertiary level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">According to Matthew Moran, head of transformation at The Open University in the UK, \u201cUniversities need to embrace an agile and product mindset, as they are grappling with hypothesis-driven development of new kind of products and services&#8230;\u201d Moran emphasises the benefits of agile in academics in an interview stating, \u201cAcademics develop new knowledge through hypothesis and research and reflection\u2026 Academics perhaps more than most people appreciate the importance of transparency, inspection and adaptation, both for their research and their teaching tactic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">With education professionals speaking so highly of Agile in higher education let\u2019s go over why the Agile approach in tertiary education is important to educators.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ca409b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7ca409b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

This is achieved in higher education through meaningful and shorter timescales within semesters. This makes for a more intimate and productive learning experience as having goals set for shorter cycles within semesters ensures all students are on the same page. It also promotes a better understanding of higher education&#8217;s complex ideas and keeps students busy. Shorter timescales present an opportunity for more assessments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc2b5df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fc2b5df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

When students feel cared for and genuinely considered it boosts morale and their effort in a class. For both educators and students, this makes for a more pleasant, productive and effective learning experience.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Unfortunately agile is still very new in education, there isn&#8217;t much information on this, every try is a collaboration between educators and students. But the future looks promising with educators praising Agile Education.
