DIGITAsia Training Series

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the Future-Ready Educators: DIGITAsia Training Series—a self-paced online programme designed to support educators in navigating and leading within today’s rapidly evolving digital education landscape.

Designed and developed during 2025 by all project partners, the programme was launched in mid-June 2025. This training series is part of DIGITAsia’s broader mission to empower educators across the region in adopting learner-centered, inclusive, and future-oriented teaching practices aligned with the Education 5.0 framework.

This comprehensive course equips participants with the knowledge and practical tools necessary to become future-ready educators. It comprises four stand-alone, hands-on modules, each addressing a core area of innovation in education:

  • Module 1: Introduction to Education 5.0 – Explore the paradigm shift toward student-centered, technology-enhanced learning environments.
  • Module 2: Universal Design for Learning in Digital Education – Learn to create inclusive, accessible digital learning experiences.
  • Module 3: Leveraging LMS and Learning Analytics for Data-Driven Teaching – Use data to personalize learning and inform teaching strategies.
  • Module 4: Course Quality Enhancement – Apply proven techniques for evaluating and improving course quality in digital and hybrid settings.

Participants are expected to progress independently through the four self-paced modules, which are hosted on the Moodle platform. Upon completion of each module, participants will earn a digital badge, enabling them to build a professional learning portfolio while applying their new skills directly in their teaching practice. The programme concludes with a Capstone Project, in which participants will work collaboratively with expert facilitators to redesign one of their existing courses or modules using the online collaborative design tool (i.e. Balanced Design Planning (BDP)). It is the final project that offers participants a valuable opportunity to integrate learning from all modules and receive constructive feedback from both peers and facilitators.

The DIGITAsia Training Series is particularly suited for: university lecturers, school teachers and all other education professionals seeking to enhance quality inclusion, engagement, and data-informed teaching.

All course materials are research-based and hosted on FOI’s open learning platform (Moodle LMS)—ensuring accessibility to a broad range of educators and stakeholders.

With the training programme now finalized, the project has entered its piloting phase. During this stage, future programme facilitators from partner institutions across Asia will be trained and will provide feedback to support final refinement of the course.

In the next phase, educators from partner countries will be invited to participate in the programme and join the growing community of professionals committed to shaping the future of education being part of this transformative journey—to becoming a Future-Ready Educator.
