National Institute for Digital Learning

The National Institute for Digital Learning (NIDL) at Dublin City University (DCU) aims to be a world leader at the forefront of education, research and innovation in contemporary models of teaching and learning that help transform lives and societies. The NIDL has three related strategic missions: (i) to support professional development and the redesign of academic programmes that harness the affordances of digital learning; (ii) to lead and manage a suite of fully online academic programmes and open short courses through DCU Connected and the DCU Open Academy; and (iii) to lead, enable and disseminate world-class research through a Digital Learning Research Network which focuses on many of the big issues facing education in an uncertain future. The NIDL brings together a unique team of leading academics and educational practitioners who can partner with and provide specialist research and consultancy services from Early Childhood Education (ECE) through to new models of Higher Education (HE). Notably, a group of highly acclaimed and leading scholars in the area of Digital Learning from around the world serve on the NIDL’s International Advisory Board.
