Digital Education Advisory Group
Digital Education is a key strategic focus for TU Dublin that runs across all three pillars of our Strategic Intent 2030, and, through the work of the Digital Education Team, Academic Affairs is providing leadership for, and support in, this cross-functional area.
A Digital Education Policy was published in 2023, followed by an Implementation Plan in 2024. Given that our university is an ever-changing and evolving system inseparable from its environment and the sectoral context within which it operates, the Implementation Plan must be kept current, and executed in a flexible manner, in close consultation with TU Dublin’s diverse teaching community, as they engage continually with digitally enhanced learning, teaching and assessment practices in ‘In-Person On-Campus Technology-enabled’, ‘Blended’, ‘Online’ and/or ‘HyFlex’ modules.
TU Dublin's Digital Education Advisory Group, established September 2025, is providing advice, advocacy and direction on maximising the full benefits of the projects and activities as they currently stand in the plan, as well as proposing appropriate amendments or additions to those projects and activities in line with changes in our teaching environment and the needs of our students.
The Advisory Group is also providing critical feedback to inform Academic Affairs and our ongoing work in the digital education space.
