“Discovery Towards Strategy”—Co-Creating an Institutional Innovation Strategy for Digital and Medical Education

Through the pivot to emergency remote teaching during the pandemic, most universities have managed to become ‘digital’, at least in the delivery of educational programmes and business operations. And yet, the purposeful design and use of technology for education is far from the reality of such a pivot and remains difficult to achieve. While most universities outline some level of digital transformation as part of their innovation narrative and strategies, there is only a limited number of universities that adopt the culture of co-creation. This paper illustrates a bottom-up approach to the co-creation of a new digital and medical education strategy in a London-based Russell Group university to bring on change that is fit for purpose. The findings include the key insights, specifically, the five key values of what the community believed to be crucial—(i) broadening access to education, (ii) flexibility, efficiency and convenience, (iii) authentic learning, (iv) business proposition, and (v) pastoral care; and the eight areas of opportunities and challenges—(i) human relationships, (ii) co-creation, (iii) digital engagement, (iv) digital pedagogy, (v) digital literacy, (vi) edtech and IT infrastructure, (vii) support, and (viii) digital assessment and feedback. This paper also outlines the strategic project plans that were generated and since implemented as a result of the co-creation process. The limitations and future directions of this study are also noted.

PROMOVENDO ACESSO EQUITATIVO À EDUCAÇÃO PARA COMUNIDADES MARGINALIZADAS E GRUPOS VULNERÁVEIS

Equitable access to education is a global challenge that affects many marginalized communities and vulnerable groups, who often face significant barriers. This article explores the main obstacles encountered by these communities, such as economic barriers, structural inequalities, discrimination, and geographic limitations. Economic barriers include the lack of financial resources to cover educational costs, while structural inequalities reflect disparities in access to quality infrastructure and services. Discrimination can manifest in various forms, such as racial, ethnic, or gender bias, and geographic access issues refer to physical distance and inadequate infrastructure in remote areas. To promote truly equitable access, it is crucial to adopt strategies such as implementing inclusive educational policies, offering scholarship programs, and developing diversity-sensitive education. Additionally, community interventions and the use of educational technologies can play vital roles in overcoming these barriers. These strategies aim to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic background, ethnicity, or location, could access quality education. By addressing these challenges collaboratively and implementing effective measures, we can move towards a more just and inclusive society, where education is genuinely accessible to everyone.

What is the learning model of physical education in the digital era? Literature review of various studies

The digital age has changed the landscape of physical education (PE), with technology playing an important role in the learning process. This article reviews various studies on the use of technology in physical education to understand the trends, benefits, and challenges in implementing digital learning models. The search in this study used the Harzing Publish or Perish application. The search was initiated using the Scopus database with keywords ("learning model" AND "physical education" OR "sports education" AND "digital era"). Initially, 12.654 publications were identified through the database search (Scopus: 2,831 articles). After following exclusion criteria, only 10 articles remained. The search was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review showed that technologies such as mobile apps, e-learning, virtual reality, digital media, and video games can improve student motivation, engagement, and understanding. However, challenges such as infrastructure limitations, user readiness, and potential reduction of physical aspects in physical learning need to be considered. Therefore, a balanced approach between the use of technology and physical activity is needed, as well as adequate support to maximize the benefits of technology in physical education. Further research is recommended to explore more effective strategies in integrating technology into physical education learning across different contexts. Although there are many studies on adolescent girls' lack of engagement in Physical Education (PE) in the literature, most only investigate the root causes, while few take initiatives to address the inherent problems. Keywords: learning model, physical education, digital era, technological advancement
