3 Forces Shaping Ed Tech in 2017 - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

Ovum's latest report examines the key trends that are expected to impact higher education in the new year. Sometimes predictions about coming trends in a given segment seem willy-nilly. First, we're marching in this direction, and then suddenly, it's a new year and we're marching in that direction. Not so with Ovum in its recent report, "2017 Trends to Watch: Higher Education." There, the industry is expected to follow in the same direction it has been heading for the past year. The key watchwords: use of innovative technology in teaching and learning, improvement of the student experience and an overall IT strategy that focuses on IT agility. The main difference: Colleges and universities have made "significant advancement" along the way. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2016/12/13/3-forces-shaping-ed-tech-in-2017.aspx
