The Australian Digital Futures Institute (ADFI) is a cross-institutional, multidisciplinary Institute with two work-streams - one pertaining to eLearning and the other to eResearch. The scope and focus of ADFI is specifically aligned with the University of Southern Queensland’s vision, mission and core values. It aims to contribute both to the Learning and Teaching agenda (through support of USQ’s teaching and learning technology requirements), and to the Research agenda (through contributing to the eResearch requirements of USQ research centres). In addition, it contributes directly to USQ’s visibility and prestige through forming strong links and networks nationally and internationally with like-minded individuals and groups.

ADFI is a research and innovation Institute and was established in 2008. It has two physical environments: the Software Research and Development Laboratory (SRDL), which accommodates the software research and development team and provides some access to software and hardware for trial purposes, and the Technology Enhanced Learning Laboratory (TELL), which provides a facility for staff and students to investigate technology-enhanced learning innovations. A critical part of innovation is the harnessing of new technologies of all kinds in the service of learning innovation.
