“Towards Digital Transformation in Education and Research”
Organised by the Tanzania Education and Research Network (TERNET), this conference will contribute to highlight the potential of digital transformation in education and research.
The digitization, innovated out of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), offers unprecedented breakthroughs such as artificial intelligence, Big Data analytics, edge computing, Internet, social media, augmented reality, mobile technologies, blockchain, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, open education resources, robotics and shared economy applications. These technologies have renewed interest by higher learning and research institutions to investigate their potential to solve the existing challenges in order to shape the future.
Practitioners, researchers, and industrialists will explore novel ideas, share topical research findings, discuss lessons learned and success stories, map out major challenges, and collectively debate on future directions for education and research.
The conference sub-themes are:
- Strategic planning for digital transformation
- Technical solutions and tools for digital transformation
- Education technologies and e-Learning
- Research and collaboration
