International Staff Week in Brno

Hits : 750

A number of studies on digital learning and the digital university have appeared over the last few years, the most recent one being The Digital Turn by Centrum fuer Hochschulentwicklung Guetersloh Germany. While the emergence of digital teaching and learning can be taken for granted, the underlying processes enabling universities to function (recruitment, student administration, student services, credit administration, budget allocation, controlling, project management, staff administration, staff development etc) have attracted less attention so far.

The white paper on the digital transformation of universities' internationalization processes aims to be a blueprint for higher education institutions enhancing the quality of international services and their cost efficiency. Digital transformation in general unbundles core processes of any organization and reassembles them in a new and more efficient way. Focusing primarily on interfaces with international partners, this whitepaper provides guidelines and options for changing processes, management structures and hierarchies.

Ironically, universities offering innovative study programmes on the digital economy, digital transformation and similar often lag far behind in the modernization of their administration processes and the adoption of new technologies and management structures. Credibility and reputation of quality providers of higher education need a coherent package of high-quality student services combined with excellent study programmes.

The paper is to provide:

  • a context analysis of digitization of HEIs’ internationalization processes (conditions, state of the matter, current trends)
  • map of typical ‘digitizable’ interfaces in HE processes
  • cost-benefit analysis of digitization of specific processes (e.g. Joint Degrees, exchanges, enrolment etc)
  • roadmap for implementation and a proposal for typical web-based educational platform design
