DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR

July 3, 2017

Digital transformation, or digital disruption as some may say, is becoming a large focus for many organisations. This is no different in the Education sector where it is gaining significant attention.


Project Resource Partners have great visibility of the different projects and programs taking place in the sector. The main theme we have seen in recent months is the need for digital transformation to improve customer experience (students and staff) for education institutions.


With the range of new systems and technologies that are available now, the education sector, including universities, colleges and schools are all being forced to review what they need to do to stay competitive in the market. New ways of teaching and learning are now becoming necessary, with a major market developing for the online learning and teaching space. This is where a student can successfully complete a degree without having to set foot on campus.


The growth in the digital market has caused a move away from the traditional forms of teaching. This means that some of Victoria’s higher education institutions are all competing to make sure they secure the best Virtual Learning Environment for their students. Within the market there are thoughts that the days of academics teaching at the front of a lecture theatre for certain subjects are numbered, and that the use of digital mediums to deliver learning are becoming more prevalent.


SO WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR PROJECTS?
