What Is Digital Transformation?

Digital Transformation is the application of existing and emerging digital technologies to rethink and transform traditional processes in every aspect of our lives. While Digital Transformation has been occuring organically for some time, Wichita State seeks to be a national leader in the intentional development and application of new technologies that boost efficiency, accelerate the creation of new jobs and spur economic growth.

Instruction

The pandemic created an opportunity for dramatic learning and change in instruction. We learned things that will be part of our instructional toolkit from this point forward.  What else can we do to leverage new technologies and make more time in our days for meaningful connections with students?

Research & Big Data

The technologies shaping our world create opportunities for new knowledge in all fields of study. From the rapid growth of the digital humanities to the application of big data, or the development of machine learning algorithms for the sciences, the only limits are what we can imagine.

Digital Humanities

The rapid development of new technologies and tools create opportunities to transform the way we research, create, and teach -- and that is as true in the humanities as it is anywhere else. The Vizling project is a great example of an innovative effort to blend technology and creative arts in a new way.
