In its first edition, the initiative has achieved many advantages and goals over the months that the initiative was implemented. Which included a scientific and technical addition and a quantum leap in the process of teaching and learning in the college and society as a whole. The initiative has been able to get rid of many of the problems of traditional education through fairness in evaluation and enlargement of study (which has been reduced to the lowest levels), raising learners' positive rates in the educational process, and increasing their interaction in the enrichment activities provided by the initiative.

The initiative provides an added value in the university's education model through a set of programs and courses targeting faculty members and students in order to enhance their skills and provide them with new skills that help them create and innovate in the manufacture and use of digital content and deal with it based on international quality standards.

The second initiative, which is the (Towards a Digital Society) initiative, which aims to raise the level of community members in terms of science and technology, through training courses that have been and will be held throughout the implementation period of the initiative. The number of courses that will take place within the Towards a Digital Society initiative has reached about (30) courses, and the total number of beneficiaries from the initiative so far for the two courses Introduction to Computer and Programming and the Basic Medical Word Structure course has reached (817) beneficiaries, and the initiative has achieved the desired outputs remarkably.
