Turning a digital vision into reality

Abstract

The potential of technology to reinvent higher education has recently resurged in popular consciousness with the articulation of the idea of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). At Victoria we are avoiding radical technocratic transformation by engaging a process of collective sense-making and progressive capability building to better understand and take advantage of the affordances of technology. We outline our six-year strategy of organizational collaboration and change intended to help a research-focused university evolve and grow its capability, agility and aspirations for technology in learning and teaching, and discuss the progress to date.
