About

Our community of practice event is for staff and leaders in higher or further education who are responsible for developing digital capability in their organisations. Our aim is to help move digital capability practice forward across the sector.

This network event offers a unique opportunity for colleagues to work together on all aspects of digital capability and to share practice, ideas and issues around enhancing student, staff and organisational digital capability. It's also an opportunity to hear more about our building digital capability service and understand how it might help meet your goals.

We hold these events twice a year.
