What does it take to become digitally more agile as a scholar involved in higher education? How can academics comfortably navigate the digital world of today and tomorrow?

A three-dimensional framework is presented that foregrounds three key domains of digital agility: getting involved in research, education and (community) service, mobilizing (digital) skills on various levels, and acting in multiple roles, both individually and interlinked with others. There is the author, who writes highly specialized texts for expert peers; the storyteller, who crafts accessible narratives to a broader audience in the form of blogs or podcasts; the creator, who uses graphics, audio, and video to motivate audiences to delve deeper into the material; the integrator, who develops and curates multimedia artefacts, disseminating them through channels such as websites, webinars, and open source repositories; and finally the networker, who actively triggers interaction via social media applications and online learning communities. Moreover, the future digital scholar profiles as a professional learner and as a “change agent” who is open to and actively pursues innovation.

The COVID pandemic hit us head on, and we plunged headlong into the digital academic world. Now is the time to take lessons learnt, and to prepare for a better ‘normal’, to consolidate what went well and to innovate where improvement is needed. Some pointers will be given to make this a successful journey for the new digital scholar.
