The brief

The Digital Academy is looking to re-invent the way it delivers training.

In response to Covid, it’s currently being delivered using video conferencing and screen-based materials.

But there are significant limitations to conventional ‘blended learning’.

Online workshops and e-learning materials are in effect digital replications of classrooms and training books, and these are profoundly old ways of delivering learning.

They’ve long been questioned by many educationalists, and ignore advances in understanding of how and why people learn, and the potential of technologies such as immersive experiences, VR and AR.

There are other limitations to a ‘physical’ approach: a brilliant trainer can only be in one place at a time, so in order to impact across Scotland multiple training sessions need to be arranged.

This is not time efficient, environmentally sound, or optimal in a post-Covid world.

This Challenge is not a quick fix.

Some careful visioning work needs to be done and partners brought on-board.

But reimagining and demonstrating world class learning has the potential to benefit every part of the nation’s life: schools, businesses, the whole of the public sector, universities and communities Please visit our website for information on CivTech and how to get involved https://www.civtechalliance.org/civtech-innovation-flow
