Webinar | Showcase Webinar: Smooth Sailing for the Student Experience

Over the past few decades, we have all grown used to a world of on-demand services. While efforts to provide frictionless student experiences in higher education lag far behind many consumer-level experiences, we have the opportunity to create a student-centered learning environment that provides a plethora of information and learning opportunities through mobile-friendly services.

Investing in technology systems and talent that support students' seamless access to resources, when and where desired, can improve the ability to attract, motivate, and retain students, as well as help students earn desired credentials more efficiently and affordably. Coupling technology with quality teaching staff can thus enhance a student's academic success. Doing so requires faculty and IT staff who are knowledgeable about the use of technology for teaching and learning.

Attend this webinar to participate in the latest discussions about building a frictionless student experience through technology innovation and cross-campus collaboration. You’ll hear from leaders in the EDUCAUSE community as they share thoughts and case studies, and make sure to bring your questions!

This session is aligned with the 2023 EDUCAUSE Showcase Series and Top 10 IT Issue #4.
