Facing a Digital Challenge at a Traditional University

Abstract

This article presents the challenges that teachers of the youngest Slovenian public university are facing in introducing ICT into the pedagogical process. The introduction of ICT into pedagogical practice requires the support of the school management and also impacts on the quality of education. Thus, within the framework of the InoTeZ project, we conducted group interviews with representatives of the faculty management and those responsible for the quality assurance system. The analysis of the group interviews content revealed that the differences in faculties’ development are also evident in the fields of e-learning understanding and in the processes of ICT implementation into the pedagogical process. Some faculties are more systematic, and changes are planned accurately, while others leave it to individual enthusiasts. The interviewees showed support for the establishment of unified technical and pedagogical-didactic support at the university level with the desire to retain partial local support. The support needs to be set up as an infrastructure center, taking into account the specificities of the study programs and the needs of individual faculties and teachers.
