Adapting to Innovation Initiative
The Adapting to Innovation (AI) Initiative of the Division of Digital Learning aims to support Texas higher education institutions by providing resources, programs, and services that foster collective efforts to build a strong foundation for engaging with technological innovations. As technology advances rapidly, institutions face challenges in adapting strategically, and institutional agility is essential for leveraging evolving tools that impact teaching, learning, business, and daily life. Currently focused on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), the initiative connects the Texas community to collaboratively prepare for present and future innovation.
As we stand at the cusp of transformative technological change, our higher education community faces both unprecedented challenges and extraordinary opportunities. Adapting to Innovation is about strategy and capacity building to be agile to successfully respond to what comes next.
