Who we are

UCISA's Digital Capabilities Group promotes the dissemination of experience and good practice in IT training and skills development for both staff and students in UK higher education institutions.

What we do

The Digital Capabilities Group organises events including conferences, for example Spotlight 2022, webinars, reports and key surveys, such as the  Digital Capabilities Survey that informs the development of digitally capable students and staff. Membership, which entails contribution to the business of the group, is open to anybody in the academic community with an interest in the provision and management of IT training and user skills development. 

The recordings and presentations from our most recent conference Spotlight 2022 are available to all members via login.
