Digital Education is the innovative use of digital tools and technologies during the teaching, learning, assessment and feedback process, in any modality, to enhance and transform the student experience. It is a key strategic focus for TU Dublin that runs across all three pillars of our Strategic Intent 2030.
Listed below is a collection of resources and guides that will be essential to any staff member engaging in digital education regardless of modality, but also includes some guides around designing effective in-person technology enabled, online, blended and HyFlex modules. Additional learning and teaching related resources can be found on our Learning, Teaching and Assessment pages.
