The annual EDUCAUSE conference is where innovative higher education CIOs go to learn about new industry trends and compare notes on the latest breakthroughs. This year was no exception as 7,300 IT leaders from more than 50 countries gathered in Orlando along with 260 educational technology exhibitors. Discussions took place in session rooms, on the exhibition floor, after the keynotes, and throughout the hallways. These are the common threads that permeated those discussions; the ten hottest topics for CIOs in higher education.
See #6 for special mention. Colgate’s CIO Kevin Lynch and Instructional Technologist Ahmad Khazaee presented on “Just Don’t Call It a Drone” @ Educause this past year.
