The Future is Digital

I was delighted to find this banner in a Pretoria street “The Future is Digital”. The slogan from the South African Department of Communications chimes with the 2014 Educause major IT  issues for HE and the strategic direction for e-learning at DUT.  Four of the Educause “Top 10” are specially important right now at DUT:

  • Improving student outcomes through an institutional approach that strategically leverages technology
  • Assisting faculty with the instructional integration of information technology
  • Using analytics to help drive critical institutional outcomes
  • Addressing access demand and the wireless and device explosion
  • Developing an enterprise IT architecture that can respond to changing conditions and new opportunities

Take a look at the full Educause article (thanks to Nicky Muller for sending it):

Catch Professor Mike Savage’s public lecture tomorrow (Friday 18 July) at 10 a.m. at the Hotel School Conference Centre. Professor Savage’s work is really cutting-edge. The incorporation of real-time information mapping and making this available via mobile devices has exciting and valuable potential for rural development as well as established agriculture. Tomorrow’s lecture on his findings is of great interest to the DUT academic community, particularly  with our present focus on developing e-learning and associated teaching technologies.
