DigiReady+: Integrated Framework for assessing HEIs Digital Readiness based on Institutional and Instructional Data Analytics

This report presents a Conceptual Framework for Assessing Digital Readiness of Higher Education Institutions that assesses Digital Readiness on seven dimensions: 1) Leadership and Governance, 2) Policies and Strategies, 3) Teaching and Learning, 4) Content and Curricula, 5) Training and Support, 6) Infrastructure, 7) Research, Networks and Alliances. We argue that these dimensions reflect the organizational structure of HEIs. The frameowrk includes 72 data-informed indicators of Digital Readiness. These indicators aim to reflect aspects of Digital Readiness that can be mapped and measured using data sources of modern HEIs, such as Learning Management Systems and Study Information Systems. Additionally, the report identifies six themes of “measurable” aspects of Digital Readiness deriving from the thematic analysis of the 72 data-informed indicators. These themes are: Human Resources, Communication, Financing, Digital Usage, Issues and Troubleshooting, Outcomes.
