A Hands-On How-to: Research, Vet, and Procure the Right Edtech for Your Ecosystem (separate registration is required)

The use of technology that allows for flexible learning experiences and data-driven improvement is the key to student success. However, educational institutions may face challenges in navigating the edtech landscape to find the right solutions that support their mission and students. We are here to introduce you to resources that can assist you in adopting trusted technology, which will give you an advantage in supporting academic quality and meeting institutional requirements for third-party platform providers and procurement agreements. By participating in this workshop, you will craft an implementation plan that promotes a culture of innovation within your educational technology ecosystem while also upholding robust security measures and maintaining the trust of students, faculty, and administrators. This workshop will provide strategies for balancing exploration with risk management and encouraging collaboration while prioritizing data privacy.
