“ We can understand what the researchers are doing and then propose to them a way that they could do it better , more effectively , through technology ”
Dr Yousif Asfour – CIO
technology of today and of tomorrow and so in reality , it will be a journey that will only continue to define AUB far beyond that five-year plan .
Asfour acknowledges this , with technology advancing further and further , so too does the student .
“ I think technology has become integrated into our fabric . It used to be that technology was an enabler . I think now technology is a bare necessity in order to survive ,” he says .
“ The key , though , is not in the technology , but rather in how you use it . Our students now sleep and wake up with their phone in their hand . They ’ re connected 24 / 7 .
“ I ’ m somewhat biased as a technologist , but I firmly believe that technology , if used right , is going to force us to change not just what we teach , but how exactly we teach it .”
