What is DigiReady+?
DigiReady+ aims to provide data-informed assessments of digital readiness for higher education institutions. The project is a European Cooperation Partnership in Higher Education funded under the Erasmus+ KA220. It aims at defining a framework and develop a prototype, in the form of a web tool, to measure digital readiness indicators for higher education institutions based on Institutional and Instructional Data Analytics.
What to expect from this Event?
In the Third Multiplier Event, that follows the highly successful the First Multiplier Event at Duisburg, Germany on October 2022 and the Second Multiplier Event at Valladolid, Spain on July 2023, we aim to bring together people involved in higher education, including HEI administration, government, staff, faculty, and researchers, to discuss how the integration of digital technologies in Higher Education changes the landscape, the challenges it can introduce and how to develop strategies towards supporting digital readiness.
In this event, participants will:
a) be introduced to the DigiReady+ Integrated Framework and Tools for assessing HEIs Digital Readiness based on Institutional and Instructional Data Analytics and how this framework can be used on multiple levels, such as when designing Policies and Strategies for the academic community or when creating curricula and teaching plans for promoting digital learning;
b) gain insights regarding the state-of-the-art on assessing Digital Readiness in HEIs and existing practices that other European HEIs have in place regarding digital readiness;
c) learn what kind of data can be used to assess digital readiness and, consequently, how to simplify the process of designing digitalized solutions for teaching and learning;
d) discuss with other stakeholders and experts the challenges that academic institutions may face from the integration of digital technologies, especially in the post-pandemic era, what successful practices we established during the pandemic we should maintain, and how to move forward.
