  • At the end of January 2022 the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) published the new Diploma syllabus for Classical Languages (for first assessment in 2024). The new IB Diploma syllabus has at its heart a desire to move away from the teaching of language and literature as two distinct skills, while embracing a broader range of teaching and assessment methods which do greater justice to the richness, diversity and range of skills students can, and do, develop through the learning of classical languages. In what follows, I will discuss the new IB Classical Languages syllabus and whether it lives up to these worthy aims.

  • Summary

    This chapter aims to present the connection between the digital transformation of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and personalization in relations to students throughout their life-cycle from prospectus to graduation. Personalized communication, the adoption of emerging technologies to support along with personalized learning, are the new focus in many HEI strategies. Digital technologies offer opportunities that facilitate blended, online, and mobile learning. Nonetheless, the implementation of real data-driven personalization is still at its initial stage, therefore relatively little attention is paid to the impact of personalization on the awarding of academic degrees, the value of diplomas and certificates. This chapter presents personalization at various stages of the student's life cycle, from the initial recruitment and on-boarding through the time of acquiring knowledge and qualifications to ideas related to lifelong learning and “student for life”. The opportunities and challenges that personalization creates for the certification process in higher education were also considered.
