Building the Connected Learning Platform-One Brick at a Time

Imagine what would happen if CIOs knew that faculty and students could easily add services and applications in a matter of days instead of months, if instructors could seamlessly combine these tools into their courses with one click, and if analytics data would begin to flow immediately thereafter. This new IT architecture would revolutionize the support for academic technology in the same way that the app movement has revolutionized what is available on mobile devices. During this webinar, two of the authors of the recent EDUCAUSE Review article, "A New Architecture for Learning," will talk about the challenges, opportunities, and recent progress toward achieving a more seamless, agile, and information rich IT architecture to support a proliferation of "connected" educational systems and applications. In addition, they will provide information on a new partnership among cooperating organizations to further the discussion on how institutional leadership must rethink the approach to academic technology architecture. This presentation is part of an EDUCAUSE Live! Game Changers Spotlight Series focusing on higher education in the connected age.
