This JFI Radio episode explores with Dr Masoor al Awar, CEO and Founder of Hamdan bin Mohammed Smart University what it really means to be born digital rather than simply “go online”. Founded in 2002 as the first licensed online university in the UAE and the Arab world, HBMSU has rebuilt pedagogy from the ground up for an AI-ready era. You will hear how they shift from push to pull learning, reimagine faculty as coaches, and design 24/7 environments for busy professionals. With bold warnings about an “avalanche” facing higher education and five clear leadership imperatives, this conversation challenges universities to innovate, experiment and break their own rules before the future does it for them.
