6 key themes from the Higher Education Digital Transformation Webinar Series

With nearly 5,000 registrations from 80+ countries around the world, our 6-part webinar series on Higher Education Digital Transformation brought together an inquisitive and highly engaged global network to share and discuss the future shape of higher education.

The series explored new models, technologies and partnerships emerging in the sector, underpinned by the four Dimensions of the Higher Education Digital Capability framework. Review key themes, watch the recordings and find out more about each session below.

The Framework: Higher Education Digital Capability

Each theme was anchored in the 4 Dimensions, 16 Domains and 70+ capabilities identified in the Higher Education Digital Capability (HEDC) Framework. This unifying model provides an overarching view for institutions to map and measure digital capabilities across the learner lifecycle, ultimately to support practical and sustainable approaches to digital services and online learning.

As well as this shared language and structure, digital transformation demands action! Among the tools developed to support practical application of the framework is a self-assessment benchmarking tool, completed by an individual or by an institution with representatives across different functions like marketing, learning design, campus operations and careers. The resulting perspectives on institutional performance and digital capability priorities are used to inform and drive strategic decision-making.
