Member QuickTalk | From System of Record to System of Intelligence: What Comes Next

A Collaboration with Ellucian | 2026 EDUCAUSE Mission Partner

For decades, campus technology has been built to record what happened: a system of record that waits to be told what to do and keeps the data accurate after the fact. A system of intelligence flips that. It learns from signals happening across the institution, from enrollment to advising to persistence, and takes action on its own, getting smarter with every outcome it observes. This QuickTalk is a conversation about what that shift could actually mean for your institution: technology that doesn't just track whether a student is at risk, but helps make sure they persist, graduate, and come back. Bring your own thinking on where you'd want your systems to start acting instead of just recording. Let's talk about what's genuinely possible right now, what are potential blockers, and strategies to overcome them.
