The world is being turned upside down. Digital technology is disrupting virtually every aspect of society. The uniqueness of the college educational experience has largely protected higher education ‹ so far. But it is clear that the broad impacts of digital transformation will be felt within higher ed and IT leaders must be ready to respond.
In a digitally disrupted world, student and faculty expectations are changing rapidly. The foundations of the educational process ‹ and the systems that support it ‹ are transforming to accommodate emerging approaches and modalities such as flipped classrooms and adaptive learning. More fundamental changes seem inevitable and the implications are significant for IT leaders who must guide their organizations through this uncharted territory. Based on his best selling book, ³The Quantum Age of IT: Why Everything You Know About IT is About to Change² and his on-going research in the areas of IT and Digital Transformation, Industry Analyst Charles Araujo will examine the changes reshaping the fabric of higher education and how IT leaders must adapt to lead their organizations into this future.
