This project directly addresses both of the challenges in the Digital Education Action Plan:
Firstly, the enhancement of digital learning and teaching in HEIs and secondly, the development of advanced digital skills in our students so that they are better prepared to contribute to the digital transformation of society.
Our project adopts a strong “train the trainers” approach with materials specifically designed to spur lecturers to grow in confidence, knowledge and skills to teach it effectively.
As a result of the resources created, the project will enable teaching staff to enhance their own digital capabilities, especially their digital literacy in a world infused with algorithms, supercomputing and cybersecurity, and to pass this knowledge on to current and future generations of students.
