Our institution continues to position itself at the forefront of 21st century education, combining emerging technologies, advanced pedagogical methods, and a wide range of interactive digital resources breaking down the traditional barriers of education to provide our students with a unique and personalized learning experience. Why is a Digital Education strategy necessary? In today's world, marked by constant technological advances and increasing digitization, a Digital Education strategy becomes essential to plan the maximum use of available resources, to ensure deep and lasting learning in each student, thus favoring their human flourishing. This strategy not only seeks to adapt to the changes and demands of the current and expected future environment, but its main objective is to offer quality education with a high level of innovation and resilience, guaranteeing the delivery of training units, courses, programs and educational experiences that stand out for their excellence, using the most advanced digital tools. In addition, it seeks to provide added value to learning, allowing students to develop relevant skills for today's world, such as digital skills, online collaboration and access to cutting-edge resources. 

By implementing sound criteria, processes and enablers, an effective deployment of Digital Education can be achieved at all levels, from undergraduate to graduate programs. Digital Education thus becomes a fundamental piece to prepare students for the challenges of the future, empowering them with the necessary skills to excel in an increasingly digitized and globalized world. We invite you to read the full report on the Tecnológico de Monterrey Institutional Strategy for Digital Education: bit.ly/Estrategia-ED 

Some of the main topics in this report, are: the background to Digital Education at Tecnológico de Monterrey, with its evolution over the last three decades, a time in which our institution has been a pioneer, leading a series of initiatives and projects with great impact on students, faculty, and the general educational ecosystem in Mexico and the world. 

Find out about the new Institutional Strategy for Digital Education in its definition, delivery modalities and general premises that drive its successful deployment, as well as the scope of its strategic projects.

• Project 1: Portfolio of digital learning experiences, courses and programs in digital modalities. 
• Project 2: Teaching skills for the teaching-learning process. 
• Project 3: Innovative digital experiences. 
• Project 4: Enabling campuses for digital learning experiences. 

Lastly, we show you where we are headed, based on the current and future context, as well as the lessons learned, previous experience, and a greater understanding of the needs and expectations of students, teachers, managers, employers, and parents, so that, supported by digital techno-pedagogies, we have a training platform that allows us to create content, collaborations, exchanges, and joint projects to meet the training needs at different times throughout the students' lives.

Teaching Hub integrates a select variety of resources for courses design with the purpose of guiding teachers in the steps to follow to create the best learning experiences, from how to make a didactic planning and design educational content, to how to configure your course and do the final review.  

This hub will give you many ideas, examples and recommendations, with search filters to make it easy to find what you need for designing and teaching memorable educational experiences.  

It integrates assessment and feedback strategies, with specific examples and recommendations, and didactic strategies that include support resources and downloadable materials.  It includes innovative academic activities to implement them in Tec Virtual Campus, to break the distance's barriers and promote learning experiences with technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality.  

In addition, it contains successful educational practices for synchronous classes mediated by technology and based on active learning, as well as selected evaluation instruments for different needs.  It also has disciplinary and immersive teaching resources, a catalog of activities and strategies to promote social presence, accessibility and inclusion, and examples of plans that guide and inspire teachers to create their own strategy according to their needs and context.  

Teaching Hub is a platform created by teachers for teachers, that is constantly updated to be a benchmark for academic support, for example, in the use of strategies and activities with artificial intelligence (AI) new generation tools (like ChatGPT and others) in the teaching-learning process, with academic integrity and ethical application of this technology.  

We invite you to this space to use its resources to create the best learning experiences for your students!

During the 2023 Annual Faculty Meeting (Reunión Nacional de Profesores 2023) at Tecnológico de Monterrey, we will provide an opportunity to share, celebrate, and acknowledge the experiences and educational innovation projects that our professors are conducting to transform the teaching-learning process. 

Hence, we cordially invite you to participate in the Learning from Our Educational Innovation Experiences Festival, an exhibition that will be displayed at Tec Virtual Campus a week before and during the event. 

The objective of the festival is to encourage professors to share those innovative experiences and projects that:  

• Have an impact on the transformation of the teaching-learning process. 
• Have the potential to trigger new projects and transcend. 
• Explore new technologies, pedagogies, or emerging educational strategies. 
• Multiply by involving other actors in the development of ideas. 
• Thematic Lines

1. Pedagogical transformation The project or initiative refers to the application of new methodologies to promote a change in the teaching-learning process, such as the deployment of new didactic practices, learning strategies, and delivery methods. 
2. Technologies for education The initiative refers to the incorporation and/or implementation of technologies applied to the transformation and improvement of educational experiences.  
3. Management of the student's experience The project or initiative implements processes for the student's experience and proposes efficiencies in the design, operation, or administration of educational experiences, such as the link with training partners.  
4. Reception and Selection of Experiences and Projects 

The reception of experiences and projects will be through the online registration platform Registro i: https://innovation.tec.mx  The selection of the experiences and projects that will participate in the festival will be based on the following criteria:

• PROSPECTING: The project explores new technologies, pedagogies, or emerging educational strategies. 
• MULTIPLIYING: The project involves professors from two or more schools or has an impact on two or more schools. 

Recognition of Participants 

All experiences or projects that are accepted to present will receive a certificate and digital badge of official participation in the festival.  Furthermore, the selected experiences and projects will be published in the 2023 Educational Innovation Report, within the area or school to which they belong.  The experiences or projects that receive an outstanding score in the selection criteria will receive a special mention for their outstanding performance in the Learning from Our Educational Innovation Experiences Festival.

On April 28, Dr. Mona Minkara shared teaching strategies in science for the inclusion of people with disabilities from her perspective as a researcher and teacher with visual disabilities at CEDDIE with Campus MTY professors.

Dr. Minkara currently collaborates with Dr. Cristina Reynaga in the project Assessing effects of Universal Design for Learning strategies to build inclusive classrooms in Medical School, whose objective is to analyze the effect of the conceptual framework of Universal Design for Learning in the teaching of Health Science topics through the development and evaluation of accessible and inclusive educational activities and technology-based three-dimensional tactile materials.
