Driving Campus and Learning Impact in a Digitally Connected World: Moving from Chief Information Officer to Chief Digital Officer - Sponsored by Accenture

We live in extraordinary times for harnessing the power of technology for social awareness, collaboration, and, of course, teaching and learning. In our ever-connected, data-aware, and data-driven world, the walls of the classroom and the boundaries of the campus have been replaced with the ubiquitous network and BYOD. This phenomenon has reshaped the educational landscape in profound ways. It is no longer about if technology matters in the academy but how we can harness it to further the mission, reach, and outcomes. In this ever-changing world, it still comes down to the ability of people to understand and harness technology innovations and the ability of the campus technology practice to lead and enable innovation and change. In this session, we will explore, from multiple perspectives, the implications of our current environment and how campus IT leadership can harness this wave of change to create value and drive impact.

OUTCOMES: Reenvision the role of the CIO and technology leaders on campus as change agents in a digital social and learning world * Understand that technology leadership is viewed as an important part of the academy and administration and not simply as a provider of infrastructure * Help IT leaders see the vast ways they can impact the core mission, strategy, and operations of the campus
