Looking back to 2020, we had no idea the level at which the COVID-19 pandemic would disrupt how we live, work, and learn. The speed of change meant education leaders and learning providers had to prioritise digital transformation much more quickly than many had planned.
As the pandemic continued to grow and evolve, it became apparent that improving the use of digital in education would not be a quick fix. Long-term digital strategies would be needed to understand the benefits the use of technology in teaching, learning and assessments could bring.
In the summer of 2020, Jisc set out its FE and skills strategy, to outline how, as a trusted lifelong digital skills partner, it would support the UK FE and skills sector on this journey.
As part of the strategy, we created a digital elevation model to support colleges to progress from foundation level (digital transformation must haves) through to elevation level (innovation leaders).
