Future Ready: From digitally able to digitally enabled

Mohawk College's Digital Learning Strategy (DLS) will enable the digital evolution of teaching and learning through strategic investments in people, systems, governance frameworks, business processes and skills development.

Our Guiding Principles and Values

  • People-Centred: People are core to the plan, the technology is what supports them.
  • Inclusive and Accessible: We need to ensure that we are integrating technology in a way that leaves no one on the sideline.
  • Responsive, Flexible and Adaptive: Due to the rapidly changing educational and working environments, the plan must be responsive to emerging needs. It must also be flexible enough to adapt to pressures impacting us from internal and external events.
  • Scalable and Sustainable: The plan must allow us to go from pilot to full scale implementation in a long-term sustainable way.

What this means to you

For learners, we will support more flexible deliveries in programs, bolster our supports to ensure learners can manage technology and offer learning opportunities to gain industry recognized digital skills.

For our educators, we will support more technology adoption, incorporate emerging technology and create engaging classroom experiences whether you're teaching online, in-person or both.
