Foundations Digital Transformation
Our new Digital Transformation course in partnership with Simon Fraser University is for Indigenous learners who want to better understand and utilize digital technologies in their daily lives.
What is Digital Transformation?
It’s the process of using digital technologies to create new — or modify existing — business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements. This re-imagining of business and of how information is communicated in the digital age is digital transformation.
Examples of Digital Transformation are all around us! We used to go to Blockbuster, now many of us have Netflix. We used to do all of our shopping in-stores, now many of us shop online. We used to only be able to learn First Nations languages one-on-one or from textbooks, now we can learn online!
