The Digital Knowledge Exchange (Doncaster)

Digital Knowlege Exchange logoThe Digital Knowledge Exchange (in association with The Learning and Innovation Centre, Doncaster College) has been formed to help accelerate South Yorkshire's transition to a global information economy and to improve its capacity for innovation, research and development.

The DKE has established significant global partnerships in order to progress
evolving technology platforms in the U.K.

The Digital Knowledge Exchange (DKE) at Doncaster Education City was formed to act as a driver for technology initiatives and collaborative working across education, industry and community, supporting their respective needs and growth development requirements within the wider expansion of the Creative and Digital Industries in South Yorkshire.

These initiatives in 2004/05 saw the DKE opening one of only two Apple Networking Centres in the UK, one of only four approved Digidesign Centres, an Animation and Games Centre, a motion capture facility, a mobile media unit and a 3D High end Visualisation Suite utilising Virtual Reality. The DKE has already built a range of new curriculum including Foundation Degrees and Masters in a range of related disciplines and it is committed to the development of inward investment opportunities in working alongside these industries, helping to bridge the gap between industry, education and training. Virtual classroom interactive technologies at the DKE have seen the first ever global collaboration between five continents happen real time at the B.Tween Festival in February 2005. The DKE is now actively developing its roll-out strategies through bid developments with education and industry partnerships, ensuring education and industry are supported in accessing the associated innovation in teaching, learning and training through utilising these 21st century technologies.
