Description

Title: Digital transformation - scaling up quality?

The autumn is here. We are back to schools, university classes, and back to (home) offices. As we are collecting lessons learned from emergency distance education, we are also looking on how to prepare for other new potential emergency situations, as well as trying to use the recent experience and drive our education institutions further into meaningful digital world(s).

What has changed since spring/summer? Do we have a strategic approach to digital transformation now and if yes, how does it look? 

In this TF-EDU session we want to address strategic questions, among others:

  • How we achieve quality when scaling up and reaching out?
  • How are we meeting users' needs in the time of this new normal?
  • How have our institutions been agile? 
  • What can be predicted at different timescales and horizons? (immediate - 2020/21; medium - 2021/22; long - 2030)

The first hour of the meeting is dedicated to strategic updates of several national approaches to distance education and related key challenges, including digital assessment. In the second hour Esther Wilkinson (Jisc) and Tomi Dolenc (ARNES) will facilitate the discussion between participants on the above questions. Come join us and make this conversation important!
