Further Education News

The FE News Channel gives you the latest education news and updates on emerging education strategies and the#FutureofEducation and the #FutureofWork.

Providing trustworthy and positive Further Education news and views since 2003, we are a digital news channel with a mixture of written word articles, podcasts and videos. Our specialisation is providing you with a mixture of the latest education news, our stance is always positive, sector building and sharing different perspectives and views from thought leaders, to provide you with a think tank of new ideas and solutions to bring the education sector together and come up with new innovative solutions and ideas.

FE News publish exclusive peer to peer thought leadership articles from our feature writers, as well as user generated content across our network of over 3000 Newsrooms, offering multiple sources of the latest education news across the Education and Employability sectors.

FE News also broadcast live events, podcasts with leading experts and thought leaders, webinars, video interviews and Further Education news bulletins so you receive the latest developments inSkills Newsand across the Apprenticeship, Further Education and Employability sectors.

Every week FE News has over 200 articles and new pieces of content per week. We are a news channel providing the latest Further Education News, giving insight from multiple sources on the latest education policy developments, latest strategies, through to our thought leaders who provide blue sky thinking strategy, best practice and innovation to help look into the future developments for education and the future of work.

In May 2020, FE News had over 120,000 unique visitors according to Google Analytics and over 200 new pieces of news content every week, from thought leadership articles, to the latest education news via written word, podcasts, video to press releases from across the sector.

We thought it would be helpful to explain how we tier our latest education news content and how you can get involved and understand how you can read the latest daily Further Education news and how we structure our FE Week of content:

Our main features are exclusive and are thought leadership articles and blue sky thinking with experts writing peer to peer news articles about the future of education and the future of work. The focus is solution led thought leadership, sharing best practice, innovation and emerging strategy. These are often articles about the future of education and the future of work, they often then create future education news articles. We limit our main features to a maximum of 20 per week, as they are often about new concepts and new thought processes. Our main features are also exclusive articles responding to the latest education news, maybe an insight from an expert into a policy announcement or response to an education think tank report or a white paper.

FE Voices was originally set up as a section on FE News to give a voice back to the sector. As we now have over 3,000 newsrooms and contributors, FE Voices are usually thought leadership articles, they dont necessarily have to be exclusive, but usually are, they are slightly shorter than Main Features. FE Voices can include more mixed media with the Further Education News articles, such as embedded podcasts and videos. Our sector response articles asking for different comments and opinions to education policy announcements or responding to a report of white paper are usually held in the FE Voices section. If we have a live podcast in an evening or a radio show such as SkillsWorldLive radio show, the next morning we place the FE podcast recording in the FE Voices section.

In sector news we have a blend of content from Press Releases, education resources, reports, education research, white papers from a range of contributors. We have a lot of positive education news articles from colleges, awarding organisations and Apprenticeship Training Providers, press releases from DfE to Think Tanks giving the overview of a report, through to helpful resources to help you with delivering education strategies to your learners and students.

We have a range of education podcasts on FE News, from hour long full production FE podcasts such as SkillsWorldLive in conjunction with the Federation of Awarding Bodies, to weekly podcasts from experts and thought leaders, providing advice and guidance to leaders. FE News also record podcasts at conferences and events, giving you one on one podcasts with education and skills experts on the latest strategies and developments.

We have over 150 education podcasts on FE News, ranging from EdTech podcasts with experts discussing Education 4.0 and how technology is complimenting and transforming education, to podcasts with experts discussing education research, the future of work, how to develop skills systems for jobs of the future to interviews with the Apprenticeship and Skills Minister.

We record our own exclusive FE News podcasts, work in conjunction with sector partners such as FAB to create weekly podcasts and daily education podcasts, through to working with sector leaders creating exclusive education news podcasts.

FE News have over 700 FE Video interviews and have been recording education video interviews with experts for over 12 years. These are usually vox pop video interviews with experts across education and work, discussing blue sky thinking ideas and views about the future of education and work.

FE News has a free events calendar to check out the latest conferences, webinars and events to keep up to date with the latest education news and strategies.

The FE Newsroom is home to your content if you are a FE News contributor. It also help the audience develop relationship with either you as an individual or your organisation as they can click through and box set consume all of your previous thought leadership articles, latest education news press releases, videos and education podcasts.

Do you want to contribute, share your ideas or vision or share a press release?

If you want to write a thought leadership article, share your ideas and vision for the future of education or the future of work, write a press release sharing the latest education news or contribute to a podcast, first of all you need to set up a FE Newsroom login (which is free): once the team have approved your newsroom (all content, newsrooms are all approved by a member of the FE News team- no robots are used in this process!), you can then start adding content (again all articles, videos and podcasts are all approved by the FE News editorial team before they go live on FE News). As all newsrooms and content are approved by the FE News team, there will be a slight delay on the team being able to review and approve content.

Artificial intelligence will be more revolutionary for education than the internet - FE News

Regulators in Europe and Washington are racing to figure out how to govern business' use of artificial intelligence while companiespush to deploy the technology.

Driving the news: On Wednesday, the EU revealed a detailed proposal on how AI should be regulated, banning some uses outright and defining which uses of AI are deemed "high-risk."

In the U.S., the federal government has yet to pass legislation specifically addressing AI, though some local governments have enacted their own rules, especially around facial recognition.

But Monday, the Federal Trade Commission laid out a tough restatement of its role enforcing laws related to AI, addressing the sale and use of algorithms that:

Acting FTC chairwoman Rebecca Slaughter told Axios: I am pleased that the European Commission shares the FTCs concerns about the risks posed by artificial intelligence... I look forward to reviewing the ECs proposal as we learn from each other in pursuit of transparency, fairness, and accountability in algorithmic decision making.

Why it matters: Artificial intelligence is no longer in its infancy and already has wide uses. Global governments are trying to wrap their arms around it, often taking different approaches.

What they're saying: The EU's move "is another wake-up call for the U.S. that it needs to retain its leadership position in the development in these sorts of legal frameworks," said Christian Troncoso, senior director of policy at BSA | The Software Alliance.

Be smart: Regulators move slower than technology. Just this week, the ACLU and dozens of other advocacy groups called on the Department of Homeland Security to stop using Clearview AI's facial recognition software.

The bottom line: Regulators want to get the details right, but they also believe they have a rare chance with AI to put legal and ethical guardrails around a new technology before it's already deployed everywhere. That window will close fast.

The global race to regulate AI - Axios

Apple today announced that it is increasing its financial commitments for US investment, now up to $430 billion and 20,000 new jobs over the next five years. Apple said it is now supporting 2.7 million jobs across direct employment, US suppliers and manufacturers, and developer jobs in the iOS app economy.

The $430 billion is set to be spent on various projects including supplier relationships, data centers and research into 5G modem, chip silicon, and artificial intelligence research. Apple also said it has created thousands of jobs in creative industries thanks to dozens of Apple TV+ productions in the United States.

The $430 billion figure is an increase from the $350 billion number the company announced in 2018, when the Trump administration was trying to show how cuts to corporation tax would benefit the US economy. The 20,000 new jobs is on top of the 20,000 jobs announced in 2018.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple is doubling down on US innovation and manufacturing.

Were creating jobs in cutting-edge fields from 5G to silicon engineering to artificial intelligence investing in the next generation of innovative new businesses, and in all our work, building toward a greener and more equitable future.

The press release included a few examples of capital investment projects in development. These include a new campus and engineering hub in North Carolina, focusing on machine learning and artificial intelligence. It is expanding its teams in San Diego to more than 5,000 employees and the television division in Culver City, California, will grow to more than 3,000, by 2026.

Apple says construction on its new Austin campus is underway and the first employees will move into the offices next year. The new Waukee, Iowa, data center first announced in 2017 is said to be in the design phase.

Fast take: Artificial intelligence, coming to a battlefield near you ...

Virtual reality is rapidly changing how the U.S. military conducts training, and artificial intelligence is a key component in creating a truly immersive virtual training experience. But what exactly will AIs role be on the battlefield of tomorrow?

In this fast take episode of Military Matters, Jack Murphy talks with Paul Scharre, vice president and director of the Center for a New American Security in Washington, D.C., about how AI will affect the future of simulation training and beyond.

It's not something discrete like a missile or a stealth fighter jet, or even like an augmented reality kind of headset, said Scharre, who also is a former Army Ranger who served in the 3rdRanger Battalion and the author of Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War. What in sum we're talking about is an enabler of a whole bunch of different applications. So they could be asked, well, what's the military going to do with AI, and I say well, you know, what's the military doing with computers or computer chips or networking? The answer is that's kind of embedded in everything the military does.

Far from being the sole domain of science fiction books and films, AI is simpler and more mundane, Scharre said.

It doesnt yet really compare to human kind of intelligence, he said. However, it is more advanced than the computers that we have lots of experience with. So we've seen since 2012, this huge explosion in the field of artificial intelligence in particular in machine learning, which is one subtype of one sort of method of the field of artificial intelligence.

Scharre said the military could save potentially big money in improving maintenance and readiness with AI. But AI also could create more transparency in warfare, leading to deadlier combat.

I think it's going to be increasingly hard to hide, he said. And you combine that with micro electronics, computer chips (that) have enabled precision guided weapons that allow you to now strike with tremendous amounts of lethality.

Fast take: Artificial intelligence, coming to a battlefield near you ... - Stars and Stripes

Colon cancer is typically detected via colonoscopy, which looks for polyps small, precancerous growths in the colon. In an ever-changing, tech-focused world, however, new developments in AI have the potential to positively impact colon cancer detection.

A typical colonoscopy involves using a camera to find things like polyps, diverticula, and cancers in the colon. And new technology, GI Genius, uses artificial intelligence to help doctors identify these things more accurately. It is the first device that uses artificial intelligence (AI) based on machine learning to assist clinicians in detecting lesions (such as polyps or suspected tumors) in the colon in real-time during a colonoscopy, reports the FDA. The GI Genius is composed of hardware and software designed to highlight portions of the colon where the device detects a potential lesion. The software uses artificial intelligence algorithm techniques to identify regions of interest.

Dr. Heather Yeo, a surgical oncologist and an associate professor of surgery at Weill Cornell, New York-Presbyterian, speaks with SurvivorNetabout these new advances, and what they could mean for colon cancer in the future. She says, I think that AI in conjunction with some of the new markers that were finding to pick up complex patterns that we as physicians may not necessarily pick up, I think its going to be really helpful in the future.

She says that with the new technology, GI Genius, They [researchers in the US and the UK] picked up slightly more polyps.

Dr. Yeo explains the advancement and how it examines images from the colon to an even greater degree and puts them against different algorithms to determine if its normal or abnormal.

She says, During a typical colonoscopy, what happens is theres a special instrument. Its a long tube with a camera on the end and some working ports and that is used with lighting to go through the entire colon and to look for abnormal findings. What happens when you link that with the GI Genius is it takes the images that the physicians are already seeing and it runs it against different algorithms to say: is this a normal thing or an abnormal thing?

While GI Genius wont be replacing doctors or clinicians, Dr. Yeo says the advancement is nonetheless exciting. The GI Genius seems to, in these early trials, be picking up on potential tumors that may have been missed by clinicians. So, yes, thats certainly exciting. I dont think its a replacement; I dont think its quite ready to take over doing a full colonoscopy. But I think the potential of AI and the future of AI is real. And as a physician, anytime theres a chance that Im going to be picking up on more cancers, I think thats exciting for my patients.
