About
Welcome to the Digital Learning Initiative webpage! This is a space where you can learn about the committee that is assembling resources and aligning policy and procedures related to digital learning at Cal State Monterey Bay.
Mission
The Digital Learning* Working Group guides the effective, consistent, and equitable implementation of digital learning at Cal State Monterey Bay. The Working Group will propose policy, recommend research-based best practices, and identify faculty development and support needs for delivering high-quality digital student learning experiences across all instructional modalities. This Working Group and its deliverables will lay the groundwork for increasing the ability of the campus to offer learning experiences that align with WSCUC requirements and the Cal State Monterey Bay opportunities and priorities and promote student success.
*Digital learning is defined as “any instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen a student’s learning experience and encompasses a wide spectrum of tools and practices.”
Vision
Our vision is for Cal State Monterey Bay to leverage digital learning tools and practices in service of student success, academic quality, and student engagement. We envision a future where:
- Online and blended learning are seamlessly integrated into the institution's academic offerings, providing flexibility and digitally enhanced learning opportunities for all students.
- Faculty are empowered and supported to effectively leverage digital tools and pedagogies to create engaging, interactive, and personalized learning experiences.
- Innovative technologies (such as Artificial Intelligence and Extended Reality) are ethically, inclusively, and strategically employed to support student learning, assessment, and support services, while respecting privacy and promoting equitable, responsible use.
- The institution has clear policies, procedures, and guidelines in place to ensure the quality, accessibility, and continuous improvement of digital learning initiatives.
- The institution fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, staying at the forefront of developments in digital learning.
By working towards this vision, we aim to create a digital learning environment that not only benefits our students and faculty but also positions Cal State Monterey Bay as a recognized leader in the field.
As our committee makes progress, we will post updates on this page to keep our campus community informed.
