Education
The recent rise of computing power and cloud-based software is creating new opportunities for colleges to capture and harness student data in a way they’ve never been able to before. In the minds of many campus administrators, this technology is the answer to slipping retention and graduation rates. It creates more efficient administrator systems and dismantles unnecessary bureaucracy, which in turn produces a more student-centered experience that leads to better student outcomes.Joining us today to discuss how administrators are doing just that is Diane Biesecker. Diane is the Acting Director of IT and School Systems and the Salesforce Application Manager at the University of Virginia Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. She sits down with Jason to talk about IT’s role in student success and how technology can make faculty interactions with students more meaningful. Plus, they dive into the technology and cultural challenges facing institutions today and education trends they are excited about for the future.---Join us on June 16th for Education Summit 2021, the virtual event for education Trailblazers from across the globe.
