What is ... Digital Education?

Digital Education gives consideration to theories of learning that underpin the design of curricula to support the effective utilisation of digital technologies to deliver education while empowering the learner.

Exploring the use of digital technologies gives educators the opportunity to design engaging learning opportunities in the form of face-to-face, blended or fully online courses.

Advantages to this approach can include a more engaging face-2-face learning experience access to educational content at a time or location that is convenient to the learner and

The option of a more personalised learning experience.

Digital education utilises learning techniques and technologies to:

- Create new types of curriculum,

- Provide well-integrated combinations of digital and conventional modes of learning

- Enable more interaction between learners and educators, both inside and outside of the classroom

- Gives the ability to assess students in different ways and improve their engagement with quicker, more relevant and more contextualised feedback

- Ultimately leading to MBRU’s goal for Learner centred, innovation focused, curriculum for the health professional of the future
