Executive Summary
The EDUCLO Unified Digital Platform (UDP) represents a paradigm shift in how higher education institutions (HEIs), skill development agencies, and governments manage teaching, learning, and governance.
However, technology alone cannot deliver transformation. Success depends on people, processes, and culture—requiring a strong framework for training and change management (TCM).
This white paper presents the training approach, change management strategy, and adoption framework designed by EDUCLO to ensure smooth, sustainable, and impactful platform rollout across Andhra Pradesh and India.
