Summary:Universities increasingly promote their values, educational strengths and standing in order to clearly set themselves apart from fellow institutions. In recent years putting students at the centre of learning has become a prominent theme. Equally, graduates require sophisticated skill-sets which demonstrate digital literacies appropriate to the thought leaders and decision makers of tomorrow.
