About the Playbook Forums: The 2022 series of BUILD-IT forums focus on key topics from the BUILD-IT playbooks as prioritized by university partners. Topics may include Institutional Accreditation, Project Based-Learning, Digital Immersion Learning, Program Accreditation (AUN-ABET), Industry Advisory Boards, Women in STEM, Maker Innovation Network, and Faculty Development and Active Learning, etc. Sessions will be held face-to-face (public health permitting) utilizing locations in Hanoi and HCMC.

About Digital Immersion: With distance learning taking off at the end of the 20th century, the new millennium brought technology that allowed both synchronous and asynchronous digital learning. Digital immersion learning has grown rapidly beyond its initial presentation. The expectations of virtual learning have increased. It is more than a student sitting alone and working independently with little or no interaction with others. Effective Digital Immersion provides engagement, opportunity, collaboration, and a valuable educational experience. It expands access to content and the chance for learners to establish their own path with genuine support from the institution. It is the responsibility of the faculty and staff of universities that the same quality in-class education is available when students move into the virtual educational world.
About the Digital Immersion Forum: Celebrating the successful partnership between USAID, BUILD-IT and their strategic partner universities, this forum explores the positive impact of Digital Immersion on higher education in Vietnam. Focusing stakeholders in Vietnamese higher education unfamiliar with BUILD-IT support programs, this forum presents components of BUILD-IT’s 3 Streams of Digital Immersion model, including Digital Pedagogy in Higher Education, Embedding In-House Experts, and Improving Digital Education. Participants hear from faculty, staff and administration of BUILD-IT University Strategic Partners who have implemented and benefited from these programs. Speakers and panelists discuss and explain the successes, challenges and solutions experienced from personal involvement in these endeavors.
