An education leader who led digital innovation and the institutionalization of online education as Vice President of Hanyang Cyber University. Now Chairman of Linus, he drives the ‘AI-Connected University’ model — combining Canvas and the Kiwi AI platform — to enable student success across Korean higher education.
Future Education from Inside the University: A Blueprint for the AI-Connected University
Universities today stand at the threshold of a new mandate: AI. Yet the reality on the ground remains fragmented — academic systems, LMS platforms, extracurricular programs, counseling, and career services operate in silos, with no unified infrastructure to track and support each student’s growth journey.
Linus addresses this challenge through an integrated architecture we call the ‘AI-Connected University’ — a three-layer model that combines Canvas (the global standard LMS) as the learning foundation, Kiwi as the Korea-native AI intelligence layer, and our proprietary Growth Support System as the student journey integration layer.
This presentation will share (1) the concrete challenges Korean universities face today, (2) the structure and operating principles of the AI-Connected University model, and (3) real implementation cases from Korean higher education. Drawing on experience from both inside the university and the edtech industry, we will discuss how technology can genuinely amplify the core values of future education — learner-centered, data-driven, integrated support, and sustainable growth.
