From the EDUCAUSE (the association for higher education IT) IT Issues Panel (a spectrum of IT leaders across higher education), a list of the major IT issues facing higher education. The issues spring forth, in part, from forces external to higher education --
rapidly evolving consumer technology, e-learning, software applications, big data and data- and text-analysis software, and data visualization; the global recession; changing student demographics (more part-time, older, and non-residential students) --
that the panel sees as shaping four strategic priorities:
- Contain and reduce costs
- Achieve demonstrable improvements in student outcomes
- Keep pace with innovations in e-learning and use e-learning as a competitive advantage
- Meet students' and faculty members' expectations of contemporary consumer technologies and communications
