Digital Transformation Initiative

The fourth industrial revolution is transforming the world through an increasing dependence on digital systems. COVID-19 has accelerated that movement for universities through a rapid shift to technology-enabled teaching with little time to implement strategic and sustainable approaches.

The Digital Transformation Initiative (DTI) will enable universities to thrive in this new environment. We work with higher education leaders to design solutions that use technological innovation to create sustainable and scalable change.

Our mission is to create capacity at universities to thrive in the changing digital educational environment and to support innovations that advance sustainable and impactful outcomes for students.

What I most liked about the workshop was the participatory exercise of carrying out a laboratory practice and how it should be integrated into the instructional design of a hybrid model. It was very important to see the way it operates.
