ATU were awarded a HEA Innovation and Transformation award, to build digital capabilities in the region (2019-2022).
The HEA project is called iNOTE and it provides opportunities to transform the higher education experience in Atlantic Technological University (ATU). The ATU Galway-Mayo Teaching and Learning Office is leading the development of DigitalEd.ie
DigitalEd.ie is a Digital Teaching and Learning education platform, providing access to the digital learning pathways and a suite of resources available to all staff. The site provides a gateway to help CUA staff build digital capabilities and pedagogic expertise, in order to design, deliver and support flexible and online learning programmes.
