Why it matters: For IPB's faculties and schools, digitising about 576 courses will proceed under one shared framework, with success to be judged on quality and engagement as well as volume.

IPB University has launched a digitisation programme preparing approximately 576 courses for development into digital formats, according to its Vice Rector for Education and Student Affairs, Prof Deni Noviana.

The university said it has developed the IPB Digital Core Standard as a common framework intended to make implementation systematic and consistent across all faculties and schools, built around a 'digital by design' concept.
