3. Maturity determinants for digital transformation
Digital maturity of an educational institution refers to its readiness to adopt, use, and continuously develop digital tools and approaches. Various maturity models, such as the DigCompOrg framework [4], are useful in understanding the level of digital readiness of educational institutions [1].
The key dimensions of digital maturity include [4]:
- Vision and leadership – the presence of a clear digital transformation strategy and the involvement of leaders who promote a digital culture.
- Digital competences – the level of digital literacy among teachers and students. For example, the use of tools such as Moodle, Microsoft Teams, or ChatGPT in everyday work.
- Digital pedagogy – the integration of technology into teaching approaches. This includes flipped classroom models, project-based learning using online collaborative tools, etc.
- Infrastructure and technical support – equipment accessibility, high-speed internet, server resources, and qualified ICT staff.
- Culture and change – the readiness of teaching and non-teaching staff to embrace change and engage in ongoing professional development.
You will learn more about the key dimensions of digital maturity in the second topic of this e-course, which focuses on areas of digital technology application that correspond to the key dimensions of digital maturity. DigCompOrg is not the only model of digital maturity. Other models also exist, and will be discussed and analysed more broadly in the second topic.
