Digital Education Policy

 

A copy of TU Dublin's first Digital Education Policy is available from the Academic Policies listings page.

The Digital Education Policy Working Group operated from May 2022 to June 2023. This group was tasked with writing an enabling policy that would support staff and students as they engaged with digital education and offered modules via flexible delivery modes. With regard to guidelines on policy development offered by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (2021), the group undertook desk based research and analysis before designing and drafting a policy for TU Dublin. Over February/March 2023 the first draft of the policy went out for consultation and review by relevant stakeholders. The feedback was insightful and edits were made to the draft policy. The final draft of the policy was presented to AQAEC at their May 2023 meeting and came before Academic Council in late June 2023, where it was approved. 

Work on implementing the policy began in September 2023 with the establishment of a Digital Education Policy Implementation Working Group. 

Huge thanks goes to the members of the Digital Education Policy Working Group for the giving of their time and expertise in the writing of this policy.
