Webinar | Exploring New Tech Impacts on Higher Ed Landscapes

This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry & Campus Solutions series.

For colleges and universities, the pandemic was a catalyst for implementing new technologies. The need to shift courses online, balance student satisfaction with safety, and keep the institution running remotely presented several significant challenges—issues with access, budgets, usability, and training. Yet the pandemic also prompted a great deal of innovation: institutions leveraged existing resources and embraced new IT solutions to help manage pandemic-related complications and ensure student success.

In this webinar, we’ll examine the recent shifts in the higher ed tech landscape and explore stories from institutions whose digital transformations allowed them to overcome both legacy issues and new obstacles. When employed strategically, technology gives students the tools to be the drivers of their own success. It helps institutions streamline operations and provides campus officials and faculty with the insights they need to make critical planning and policy decisions.
