Recommendations

Sustain and Scale Engagement:
Formalize annual or biannual workshops to maintain momentum and support ongoing digital transformation efforts institution-wide.

Strengthen Non-Academic Capacity Building:
Given strong non-academic participation, develop targeted training for administrative, technical, and support personnel to broaden institutional digital readiness.

Expand Advanced AI Training:
Build on the strong interest in generative AI by introducing advanced, hands-on modules tailored to teaching, assessment, and administrative decision-making.

Evaluate Long-Term Impact:
Complement attendance data with longitudinal indicators such as changes in teaching practice, student learning outcomes, technology adoption, and policy development.

Maintain Inclusivity Principles:
Continue ensuring the participation of staff with disabilities and promote inclusive digital design principles across all workshop themes.
