Insights from BSI’s Future Learning Podcast
Technology is revolutionising transnational education, making it more accessible and interactive. A standout example is the Australian College of Aviation, which uses simulation technology to deliver engineering and technical aviation courses remotely to students in Southeast Asia.
This article summarises the key points from BSI Group CEO Simon Dewar’s discussion on with BSI Learning Institute CEO Kala Philip, CEO of Cyprinoid Solutions Dr Russell Joshua and Vice Chancellor of Chandigarh University in Mohali, India Prof. Manpreet Singh Manna.
This is the seventh video in our series on Transnational Education, where we discuss the importance of global education in skilling for the future, and its importance to Australia.
Simulation-Based Learning: A Game Changer
Much like robotic-assisted surgery in medicine, this approach allows practical aviation training to be conducted from Australia to small regional communities overseas. Dr Russell Joshua explains, "It's basically taking that principle and delivering the engineering and technical side of aviation to small groups of students."
By using AI-driven simulators and virtual labs, students gain hands-on experience without needing expensive travel or infrastructure. This method ensures they receive industry-relevant training, regardless of location.
Expanding Access to Global Education
The integration of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and AI-powered learning is addressing accessibility challenges in higher education and vocational education. These technologies:
- Offer real-time, interactive learning experiences
- Reduce reliance on physical infrastructure
- Provide students with practical, career-ready skills
Preparing for the Future of Work
As demand for skilled professionals in aviation, healthcare, and engineering grows, institutions must embrace cutting-edge technology. The Australian College of Aviation’s model highlights how global education is evolving to equip students with future-ready skills.
With AI and simulation technology at the forefront, international education providers can deliver world-class training—anywhere in the world.
