CUA Learning and Teaching Staff Respond to the Global Pandemic Teaching and learning staff across the CUA were in an ideal position to minimise the impact the pandemic had on our students’ learning experience thanks to the iNOTE/DigitalEd Project and the work being done to build our digital teaching and learning capabilities across all eight campuses. Dr Carina Ginty leads out on the project.
In response to the global pandemic, we invested considerable resources in developing rapid response digital intervention initiatives, to support the learning, teaching and assessment transition, for staff and students. This was made possible due to several projects, including the development of the DigitalEd.ie knowledge platform.

Carina collaborates with all academic departments and professional services, on the development of digital education opportunities and the establishment of the CUA knowledge platform: DigitalEd.ie Reflecting on the work done to date, Carina says: “The scale of what was achieved in all CUA campuses in Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal, and its alignment to digital transformation strategic objectives, has the potential for transfer of learnings to other higher education institutes in Ireland and internationally”. The iNOTE project and DigitalEd.ie knowledge platform will continue to play a big part in the CUA’s digital transformation journey. To find out more click on this link: www.digitaled.ie
