摘要

The rise of digital learning in higher education (HE), provoked by the global pandemic, has led to an increase in methods and practices in digital learning. It has also led to the wholesale adoption of so-called digital offerings that, in effect, are sometimes little more than PDFs and recorded lectures, branded ‘cost effective’ by cash strapped universities that are desperate to stay afloat in a rapidly changing market. In addition, business and law schools are now facing considerable challenge not only in relation to how learning is effected, but equally in terms of what constitutes learning in a world that is responding to recent innovations in the rapid growth of GAI (generative artificial intelligence). This chapter examines the context in which digital teaching is being enacted in HE, with a specific focus on the areas of business and law. In so doing, it explores both the challenges and opportunities afforded by this move to digital, and how the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in these fields can inform learning design and practices. The chapter concludes with a discussion on evidence-based teaching and learning and what this means for the future of business and law education.
