Inguquko Yezimboni Yesine ishintsha umnotho, izimboni nemiphakathi ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obufana nobuhlakani bokwenziwa, ama-robot, ukufunda komshini, ukuhlaziywa kwedatha, i-blockchain kanye nezinhlelo zokukhiqiza eziphambili. Izikhungo zemfundo ephakeme zidlala indima ebalulekile ekulungiseleleni abafundi nemiphakathi ukuthi iphumelele kulo mhlaba oshintsha ngokushesha.

Indawo ekhethekile ye-Unisa ye-4IR nokudijithali ikhuthaza ucwaningo, ubuhlakani kanye nokwakha amandla emikhakheni yobuchwepheshe bedijithali nokuguqulwa kwedijithali. Iyunivesithi isiqalile iPhrojekthi Yokuthuthukisa EzobuSayensi Nedijithali Yase-Afrika, i-Advancing African Digital Humanities Project, ehlose ukunika abasebenzi nabafundi amakhono adingekayo ukuze baphumelele emkhakheni okhula kakhulu wezobuchwepheshe bedijithali.

Ezinye izinhlelo ezengeziwe zihlanganisa izinhlelo zokufunda ngobuchwepheshe bedijithali, ukuqeqesha othisha kumakhono e-4IR, amaphrojekthi wokudijithaliza izikole kanye nocwaningo ngohlelo lokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuphuma phambili ekuphathweni kwamarekhodi nasemibhalweni. Lezi zinhlelo ziyasiza ekwakheni imiphakathi enamakhono edijithali kanye nabasebenzi abalungele ikusasa.

IKolishi Lezifundo Zeziqu lizosekela futhi likhuthaze izifundo zibe yi-4IR kanye nedijithali, kuyilapho Isikole Seziqu Zobuholi Bebhizinisi sethula uhlelo lokufunda olufushane kuMininingwane Emikhulu.

Die 4IR hervorm ekonomieë, nywerhede en samelewings deur tegnologieë soos kunsmatige intelligensie, robotika, masjienleer, data-analise, blokketting- en gevorderde vervaardigingstelsels. Hoëronderwysinstellings speel ’n kritieke rol om gegradueerders en gemeenskappe voor te berei om in hierdie vinnig ontwikkelende omgewing te floreer.

Unisa se 4IR-en-digitaliseringsnisarea bevorder navorsing, innovasie en kapasiteitsbou in digitale tegnologieë en transformasie. Die universiteit het die Advancing African Digital Humanities-projek begin wat daarop gemik is om personeel en studente met vaardighede toe te rus om uit te blink in die groeiende veld van digitale geesteswetenskappe.  

Addisionele inisiatiewe sluit in digitale geletterdheidsprogramme, onderwyseropleiding in 4IR-bevoegdhede, skooldigitaliseringsprojekte en navorsing oor die toepassing van opkomende tegnologieë in argief- en rekordbestuur. Hierdie inisiatiewe dra by tot die bou van digitaal bemagtigde gemeenskappe en ’n werksmag wat toekomsgereed is.

Die Kollege vir Nagraadse Studies (College of Graduate Studies) sal navorsingstudies oor die Vierde Nywerheidsrevolusie en digitalisering ondersteun en bevorder. Die Nagraadse Skool vir Besigheidsleierskap (Graduate School of Business Leadership) bied ’n kort leerprogram oor Groot Data.

ITjhuguluko leSine kezamaBubulo lakha ngobutjha iminotho yamazwe, amabubulo kanye nemiphakathi ngokusebenzisa amahlelo wethekinoloji anjengobuhlakani bamaqhinga wokuzenzela, amarobothiksi, ukufunda imitjhini, ukutsenga idatha, ibhulogotjheyini kanye namasistimu wokukhiqiza athuthukileko. Amaziko wefundo ephakemeko adlala indima eqakathekileko ekulungiseni abafundi abaqedako kanye nemiphakathi ukobana bakwazi ukuphumelela msinyana kulelibhoduluko elitjhugutjhugulukako.  

 Ihlelo le-Unisa le-4IR nokudijithalayizwa kwendawana ekhuthaza itjhuguluko kukhuthaza irhubhululo, amaqhinga amatjha kanye nehlelo lokwakha amakghono kezamahlelo wethekinoloji yedijithali. Iyunivesithi seyihlome i-Advancing African Digital Humanities Project, enqophe ukuhlomisa abasebenzi nabafundi ngamakghono afaneleko ngehloso yokusebenza ngepumelelo ekwakheni umkhakha wezabantu kezedijithali.

Eminye imizamo engezelelako ifaka phakathi amaphrogremu wefundo yedijithali, ukubandulwa kwabafundi kumakghono we-4IR, kumaphrojekthi wokudijithalayizwa kweenkolo kanye nerhubhululo malungana nokusetjenziswa kwawo kumahlelo wethekinoloji asakhasako kanye nokuphathwa kwamarikhodi. Lemizamo ifaka igalelo ekuthuthukiseni imiphakathi ehlonyiswe ngamahlelo wedijithali kanye nesiqhema sabasebenzi esilungele ukusebenza kusasa.

INguquko kubuChwepheshe obuPhambili ukuze kuguqulwe indlela esisebenza, esivelisa ngayo (i4IR) iguqula uqoqosho, amashishini kunye noluntu ukuba basebenzise ubuchwepheshe obunobukrelekrele obenziweyo, iirobhothi, ukufunda ukusebenzisa oomatshini, uhlalutyo lwedatha, ubuchwepheshe oburekhoda nokugcina ulwazi ngendlela edityaniswe ngokulandelelana ngeebhloko, kunye neenkqubo eziphambili zemveliso. Amaziko emfundo ephakamileyo adlala indima ebalulekileyo ekulungiseleleni abafundi abaphumeleleyo kunye noluntu ukuba bakwazi ukuphumelela kule meko itshintsha ngokukhawuleza.

Inkalo ekhethekileyo ye4IR yaseUnisa kunye nokusetyenziswa kwedijithali ikhuthaza uphando, ukuveliswa kwezinto ezintsha kunye nokwakhiwa kwezakhono zobuchwepheshe bedijithali nakwinguqu yeDijithali. Iyunivesithi isungule iprojekthi ebizwa iAdvancing African Digital Humanities Project (iIProjekthi yokuPhucula iNzululwazi zedijithali eAfrika) ejolise ekuxhobiseni abasebenzi nabafundi ngezakhono eziyimfuneko ukuze bagqwese kwicandelo elikhulayo loluntu kunye nezifundo zedijithali.

Amanye amanyathelo ongezelelweyo aquka iinkqubo zolwazi lokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bedijithali, uqeqesho lootitshala kwizakhono ze4IR, iiprojekthi zokwenziwa kwezikolo ukuba zisebenzise idijithali kunye nophando ngokusetyenziswa kobuchwepheshe obuvelayo kulawulo lweenkcukacha ezigciniweyo neerekhodi. La manyathelo anegalelo ekwakheni uluntu oluxhotyiswe ngedijithali kunye nabasebenzi abanezakhono ezilungele iimfuno zengomso.
