Sustainable Higher education: Future challenges

Donna Kidwell

Chief information security and digital trust officer, Arizona State University

Higher Education is now globally networked. Arizona State University, USA, has a bold strategy to provide open education in collaboration with a constantly expanding network of peer institutions internationally. Donna Kidwell will share key insights from ASU´s strategy and process.

At our May 2022 session on UN sustainable development goals and how they challenge institutions of higher education we laid a foundation for reflecting on new forms of institutional collaboration and open education in the context of multimedia pedagogy and media literacy.

Engage with us to discuss institutional strategies and bottlenecks.

And take a look at one of Donna Kidwell´s main ideas here:

To truly respect the user, we must respect their data.

As more of our learning, working and living takes place in the digital realm, what and who do you trust? ASU Information Security and Digital Trust (ISDT) is grounded in transparency, security, privacy and empowerment to foster relationships of trust: trust between our institutions, learners and staff; trust between learners and employers; trust between our institutions and the workforce. 

ASU’s ISDT leads work and initiatives that uniquely influence our constituents’ experience of digital life. We aim to lead by example with our own commitment to digital trust by providing transparency and clarity around our practices that require trust.
