Building digital infrastructure for education without a clear blueprint leads to patchwork systems and frustrated users
The situation this course is for
You're leading digital transformation at an educational institution, but off-the-shelf tools don't align with real workflows. Teams struggle with low adoption, fragmented data, and manual processes that should be automated. You need a proven method to design systems that teachers use daily and students rely on, without overcomplicating development or draining resources.
Who this is for
Education technology leader at a growing institution, responsible for digital platforms, user adoption, and operational efficiency
Who this is not for
This is not for K-12 teachers running classroom tools, freelance developers, or university academics focused only on research

- Map institutional workflows to digital capabilities with precision
- Design intuitive user pathways that increase platform adoption
- Automate routine operations like attendance, billing, and scheduling
