Biography

Dr Richard NDAYISHIMIYE is a lecturer and dean of the Business school (ISCO) of the University of Burundi after obtaining his doctorate in management sciences after several placements in France and during a year-long stay at the University of Tübingen. He has managerial skills in human resources and health services management. He is currently a certified accreditor in higher education. He has specialised in digital learning through several training courses on pedagogical engineering with Moodle, the AUF's multi-media laboratories and a recent course on the ABCs of AI tools in teaching, research and community service. He is currently piloting 2 of the AUF's main projects, namely the organisation of ODL at ISCO and the renovation of the qualifying training scheme. At the same time, Dr Richard is an expert on the ‘digital transformation’ thematic commission of the Regional Conference of Rectors of Central Africa and the Great Lakes. At the moment, I'm very interested in a subject that straddles management sciences (human resources management) and educational sciences (digital learning): The transfer of digital skills for the career development of universities’ teachers.
