What’s Stopping Progress in Higher Education? Unpack the Barriers – and the Breakthroughs

Higher education is changing – but the journey is far from simple.

In this on-demand webinar, Full Fabric and AWS sat down for an honest, unscripted conversation about the realities of digital transformation in higher education. Together, we unpacked what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change to create better, more connected student experiences.

Here’s what we explored:

• Why the student experience matters more than ever – and what students now expect.
• The tension between ambition and reality: legacy systems, staff burnout, and the pace of change.
• What it really means to “do more with less” – and how technology can help.
• How real institutions are improving enrolment, retention, and student journeys through smart, human-centric digital transformation.

We also turned the spotlight on attendees – with live polls that surfaced what teams are struggling with most today.

If you work in recruitment, admissions, IT, student experience or leadership and are navigating digital change, this is worth a watch.
