ABOUT

Bridging Digital Divide in Mongolia and Vietnam through HEI’s Digital Transformation “DIGITAL MOVE” project aims at implementing Digital transformation within Mongolian and Vietnamese universities through innovative teaching and learning methods and an active engagement with external stakeholders. Taking into account that Digital transformation is a “series of deep and coordinated culture, workforce, and technology shirts”, the DIGITAL MOVE project addresses Digital transformation at four levels: institutional, processes, individuals, and communities. At the institutional level, the project aims to foster institutional reforms including readiness in terms of digital skills and development of modern university services. At the processes and services level, DIGITAL MOVE helps HEIs create and or reinforce specific departments to foster digital education through support for academic staff in digitally enhanced teaching and learning. For individuals, DIGITAL MOVE bridges the digital divide by developing digital soft skills through new learning pathways open to all: staff, students, lifelong learners (including private sector and civil society at large). Moreover, DIGITAL MOVE also aims to impact the communities at local, regional and national levels and pursues this objective by developing activities targeting the society at large and disseminating information, knowledge and good practices through Communities of practices. While it is true that digital transformation represents a great opportunity for our societies, it is also a significant risk of social exclusion. Indeed, the digital divide is already a reality that should be addressed. To tackle this challenge, the DIGITAL MOVE project focuses on bridging the digital divide by enhancing HEI capacities in digital teaching and learning and making HEI main actor of Digital transformation in local, regional and national communities.
