Digital leaders programme
Work together with like-minded peers to become a digitally-informed and empowered leader.
Course dates
Through the digital leaders programme you will learn how to help your organisation respond more effectively to technology-driven change. We'll give you the tools and confidence to develop different, more flexible ways of delivering teaching and learning. We deliver the course in three different formats each providing various ways to engage and collaborate, giving you the option to choose a method that fits your requirements:
Digital learning
Our online learning option offers the benefit to fully engage from home or office with reduced travel time and cost. These sessions are spread over several days. All sessions are recorded allowing you to review content at your convenience. Our online digital leaders programme is made up of eight sessions on Tuesdays (10:00 - 12:00) and Thursdays (14:00 - 16:00).
In-person learning
The in-person mode enables you to get together with like-minded peers from different organisations, in a relaxed ‘away day’ vibe with plenty of opportunities for networking including lunch and shared coffee/tea breaks.*subject to social distancing rules. Our face to face digital leaders programme is delivered over four days, split into two residentials.
Sign up to the waiting list for upcoming dates.
In-house delivery
Finally, we can also offer a bespoke in-house version of the digital leaders programme for your institution. This is designed specifically to be tailored to your requirements and can be delivered either in person, online or through a combination of options to your preference. Contact training@jisc.ac.uk to discuss this option.
