Translating digital transformation into action: insights from Academic Software’s experience with three Belgian universities #19
We discuss insights into supporting flexibility in higher education institutions’ ICT highlighting strategic and operational factors that could work against the necessary ICT configurations for flexibility. We explore hyflex configurations, which include ensuring technology works well for both online and in-person students, providing ongoing technical support, and ensuring that technology infrastructure is reliable, scalable, and secure. We discuss how silo-ed solutions can lead to vulnerabilities in security measures, uneven access to technology, and issues with data and oversight. The insights presented in this paper were drawn from the experiences of three Belgian universities that have leveraged flexibility to support digital transformation.

Juan Antonio Martínez-Carrascal, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona:
Designing learning spaces in the digital era: new approaches for new ways of learning #25
Higher education institutions are promoting new modes of learning: it is necessary to create new coworking, knowledge distribution, and collaborative venues and to re-evaluate traditional venues. We examine the initial design of these physical, virtual or hybrid spaces, and the new requirements they must meet. In addition to the theoretical foundations, this reflects the effort at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona to accommodate spaces for the new emergent requirements and offers recommendations for institutions considering this redefinition.
