Digital Transformation is about changing the way we work, letting systems and tools do the things they do well, and making room for more human connection in the process

What Is Digital Transformation?

"[Digital Transformation] touches everything we do and everything we want to do. It’s an interdisciplinary, applied-learning, job-creating, entrepreneurial and research workhorse. It’s a vehicle to diversify our state’s economy, makes education more accessible and contributes to the prosperity of the people and communities or our state.

"Wichita State’s Innovation Campus and our research in the emerging field of digital transformation were borne from our mission to be an economic driver for our state. As Kansas’ only urban public research university, we listen to the people and businesses of our community with an eye toward understanding their challenges and applying our innovation and research to the benefit of all Kansans."

-Wichita State President Rick Muma

Transformation and 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.
