It used futures-thinking and design-based methodologies to work with more than 400 students, staff and other stakeholders in the production of this vision.This final report from the project explains its rationale and design, detailing the approach it took to mapping and understanding the future of digital education within the University. It shows how the project engaged widely with the University community in developing core values to guide us, and then sets out a vision and aims for a near future of teaching.
