This interactive workshop explores the cultural divides and mindsets that impede engagement with technology-enhanced teaching and learning in higher education and which consequently limit the impact of digital technology and innovation on teaching excellence. We will introduce the Digital Learning Director initiative at the University of Nottingham and describe our work to foster cultural change in this arena. We will argue that this new approach based on the values of nurturing collaboration and dialogue is helping to bridge cultural divides and foster better understanding of different stakeholder priorities and needs hence providing a solution for institutions to overcome these barriers.
