The impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is upon us and has drastically changed production methods and trade methodologies. Disruptive technologies such as 3D printing, the use of cryptocurrencies, machine learning, the use of big data and algorithms to create data analytics, robotics, and so on, are defining the new normal of conducting daily business and studies. Such developments speak to the need for building capacity in the legal, commercial and technology fields at the university. It is clear that embracing the effects of 4IR cannot be left to "catch-up" processes at the tail end, but should be part and parcel of training and development by institutions of higher learning, such as Unisa.
The College of Graduate Studies will support and promote studies into 4IR and digitalisation, while the Graduate School of Business Leadership presents a short learning programme on Big Data.
Umthelela weNguquko Yezimboni Yesine (4IR) uphezu kwethu futhi ushintshe kakhulu izindlela zokukhiqiza nezindlela zokuhweba. Ubuchwepheshe obuphazamisayo obufana nokuphrinta kwe-3D, ukusetshenziswa kwemali evikelwe wubuchwepheshe, ukufunda ngomshini, ukusetshenziswa kwemininingwane emikhulu nemithetho elandelwayo ekubaleni ukudala ukuhlaziya imininingwane, amarobhothi, nokunye, kuchaza okujwayelekile okusha kokuqhuba ibhizinisi nezifundo zansuku zonke. Intuthuko enjalo ikhuluma ngesidingo sokwakhiwa kwamakhono emikhakheni yezomthetho, ezohwebo nezobuchwepheshe emfundweni ephakeme. Kuyacaca ukuthi ukwamukela imiphumela ye-4IR angeke kuyekwe ukuthi kube yizinqubo “zokubambisa” ekugcineni, kodwa kufanele kube yingxenye yokuqeqeshwa nokuthuthukiswa kwezikhungo zemfundo ephakeme, njenge-Unisa.
IKolishi Lezifundo Zeziqu lizosekela futhi likhuthaze izifundo zibe yi-4IR kanye nedijithali, kuyilapho Isikole Seziqu Zobuholi Bebhizinisi sethula uhlelo lokufunda olufushane kuMininingwane Emikhulu.

Die Vierde Nywerheidsrevolusie het tot drastiese veranderinge in produksiemetodes en handelsmetodologieë gelei. Ontwrigtende tegnologie, soos 3D-drukwerk, die gebruik van kriptogeldeenhede, masjienleer, die gebruik van Groot Data en algoritmes vir data-ontleedkunde en robotika, bepaal wat die nuwe normaal is wat alledaagse sakebedrywighede en studies betref. Vanweë hierdie soort ontwikkelings is daar ’n behoefte aan kapasiteitsuitbreiding in die kommersiële, tegnologiese en regsveld by die universiteit. Dit is duidelik dat die aanvaarding van die uitwerking van die Vierde Nywerheidsrevolusie nie bloot op ’n “inhaalproses” moet neerkom nie, maar ’n integrale deel van opleiding en ontwikkeling by hoëronderwysinstellings soos Unisa behoort te wees.
Die Kollege vir Nagraadse Studies (College of Graduate Studies) sal navorsingstudies oor die Vierde Nywerheidsrevolusie en digitalisering ondersteun en bevorder. Die Nagraadse Skool vir Besigheidsleierskap (Graduate School of Business Leadership) bied ’n kort leerprogram oor Groot Data.
