The recently published Manifesto for Teaching Online is a distillation of a research programme beginning in 2011 focusing on the politics and practices of digital education. Image The research counters the idea that online education is necessarily inferior to in-person teaching, challenges surveillant infrastructures in higher education teaching and interrogates how digital practices change the way universities assess their students. This body of work has built practitioners’ capacity to address the challenge of the Covid-19 digital “pivot”, influencing their digital competency and pedagogy via research, engagement and teaching. “The original manifesto, on which ‘The Manifesto for Teaching Online’ builds, has benefitted teachers and leaders in higher education internationally, being translated into Spanish, Chinese and Croatian and used in programme curricula across the globe. The research-led Digital Education Masters programme built on this work has, as of December 2020, educated 700 students from 57 nations in advanced online teaching practice and leadership. Alumni from this programme have transformed their universities’ policy and practice in digital education.
