Digital Learning Initiative at Boston University

Digital Learning Initiative at Boston University The Digital Learning Initiative at Boston University was created to promote use of digital learning

The higher education landscape is experiencing fundamental and disruptive change. The advances in technology and learning research are creating a whole spectrum of alternative modes of blended and personalized online learning, that can complement or substitute the standard ways of teaching college students. MOOCs (massive open online courses), competency-based learning, flipped classrooms, badges

and social learning represent only some of the exciting new possibilities. Boston University is committed to offering a residential education of the highest quality and is actively exploring how emerging educational technologies can be used strategically to increase flexibility for BU students; promote and leverage BU’s strength; improve quality and diversity of BU offerings; extend BU’s reach to prospective students, professionals, alumni, and life-long learners; and create differentiation in an environment of global competition.
