Second Global Survey on the State of Digital Transformation of Higher Education
After several years of rapid digital transformation particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the IAU is pleased to launch the second Global Survey on Digital Transformation of Higher Education to monitor transformations.
All higher education institutions are kindly asked to contribute.
Most higher education institutions around the world are confronted with the following challenges:
Leveraging Digital Developments: How can digital advancements be harnessed to enhance teaching and learning, meeting the changing expectations of students?
Exploring Generative AI: How to explore the benefits of generative AI while limiting the risks?
Embracing Open Science: Is Open Science a priority for the institution, and if so, how to implement it in practice?
Ensuring Cybersecurity and Data Privacy: Are the necessary measures in place to ensure a safe online environment and protect the data privacy of both staff and students?
These are the types of questions that the IAU will explore through the survey to take stock of the current state of digital transformation. The aim is to assess how ongoing technological developments are contributing to broad transformations in higher education and broad participation from higher education institutions is essential to ensure that we have ample data to monitor current trends both globally and across the different world regions.
How to participate?:
We kindly ask for only one reply per institution; thus we invite you to nominate a senior staff member to collect the data from across your institution and submit it online.
The survey is composed of 43 questions out of which 10 are simple demographical questions.
We recommend that you download this PDF version of the survey to prepare your reply and submit the survey once you have collected the data. It will take about 30 minutes to submit the data online.
The deadline to complete the survey is 1 October 2024.
For the preparation of the global survey, we work with experts from different regions of the world to ensure a sound design of the questionnaire and that it resonates with all regions despite very different contexts and opportunities.
