RTE’s Samantha Libreri speaks to DCU President and renowned STEM Innovator Prof. Brian MacCraith about ‘7 ways college will look different next year‘.

“… there is an art to delivering classes remotely – it is called online pedagogy – and that DCU has been perfecting this art for three decades now and is well equipped to switch to predominately online teaching.”

In the article they explore online lectures, campus time, college life, accommodation, fees, exams and external placements. Collaborative technology will have a big part to play and Hereworks have been working with DCU for many years to help develop and integrate a digital learning infrastructure for the universities teaching facilities. DCU’s progressive approach to learning and student engagement typifies the role of Hereworks in their workspace, we provide the technology for DCU to connect with their students and inspire them. Back in 2016 William Kelly, Dean of Teaching & Learning at DCU told us :

“.. was very important in the context of our ambitions for a 21st century digital campus that the AV equipment was brought up to date and be state of the art. Student expectations are based on their own personal experience of almost instant access to technology. The new AV technology improves the student experience, you have a changed teaching experience, we are getting closer to the idea of a flipped classroom, where students do a lot of their learning outside of formal lessons, and the classroom becomes much more of a collaborative space. It’s very important in that context that both lecturers and students can bring digital materials in to that space and the technology helps ensure it works. ”
