In addition, it particularly convinced the review panel in those criteria relating to strategic objectives, the further qualification and support of teaching staff with regard to digital teaching methods, a convincing technical infrastructure including technical and academic support for students and the continuous improvement of digital teaching.
The topics of digital teaching and transformation have become indispensable for universities and educational institutions. With its quality seal "Excellence in Digital Education"®, FIBAA promotes innovation in the education sector and supports higher education institutions and institutions of initial and continuing education in seeing digital challenges as an opportunity for future teaching and learning scenarios.

Accordingly, with the final report, the education institutions do not only receive a description of the status quo, but also suggestions and recommendations for further strategic, technical, didactic and personnel development. The certification with the FIBAA Quality Seal "Excellence in Digital Education"® is valid for five years.
