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
