A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

Digital Transformation in Education

January 19, 2024

Lorcan McHugh

CEO of Construct Education

As I reflect on the new year, it is more obvious than ever that 2024 will be a year of continuing change; ongoing technological developments and adoption, elections in 64 countries, and relentless cost pressures on organizations and individuals. Construct Education, now proudly part of the OES family, is dedicated to retaining our focus on solutions that add value to our customers while delivering to end users.

Impact, Innovation, and Scale

With 10 years of experience in this ever-changing industry, our role in 2024 is to ensure our clients achieve their goals during this time of continued societal and technological transition.

Whether it’s in traditional higher education institutions, corporates, governments, or the third sector, there are gaps in the delivery of learning that the application of impact, innovation, and scale can address.

So what does impact, innovation, and scale mean for our clients and their learners?

Impact: Ensuring our overall guiding principle of creating individual opportunity through learning is woven into everything we do.
Innovation: Ensuring that the most effective technology, including GenAI, is appropriately integrated to maximize outcomes, but NEVER innovation for innovation’s sake.
Scale: Leveraging our experience and agility to dramatically increase efficiency, driving down cost per learner, without ever compromising the learner’s experience.

Advancing Digital Learning

As the undeniable shift towards online education continues its momentum, with learners and institutions valuing cost efficiency, flexibility, and accessibility, Construct Education’s focus will remain on the following:

Workplace-relevant experiences: Creating immersive and authentic learning with beautifully curated and produced videos and interactive experiences that are relevant to the learner’s workplace and career.
Competency-based learning: Tailoring learning design to prioritize mastering essential skills and knowledge that are directly applicable to real-world professional scenarios.
Personalized learning experiences: Utilizing AI, like our virtual learning assistant, for tailored educational support to meet learners where they are and guide them to success.
Robust assessment design: Creating assessments that are fair, accurate, and effective in measuring a wide range of student abilities and knowledge and that take into account the likely use of AI tools by learners.
Remote student support: Offering high-quality, efficient, and affordable student support solutions.
Global accessibility: Ensuring course design that accommodates individual learning differences, including disability or technological, cultural, and geophysical challenges.

Our Promise of Predictability and Innovation

At Construct, changing lives through impactful education is our number one goal. To achieve that goal in this dynamic environment we relish the challenge of rolling up our sleeves and working hand-in-hand with our clients to develop innovative value-driven solutions tailored to their educational and commercial needs. Our experienced and specialized teams deliver on time, every time, and are fully dedicated to our clients and their learners’ ultimate success!
