Hoi Marcel,

Naast het jaarlijkse Horizon report publiceert Educause ook elk jaar een Top 10 IT issues. Voor dit jaar is de focus gericht op studie succes rondom 4 thema’s: IT foundations, data foundations, effective leadership, and successful students. Weer een interessant lijst waar Chief Information Officers zich binnen het onderwijs bezig zouden moeten gaan houden in 2017.

Top 10 IT issues

1. Information Security: Developing a holistic, agile approach to reduce institutional exposure to information security threats
2. Student Success and Completion: Effectively applying data and predictive analytics to improve student success and completion
3. Data-Informed Decision Making: Ensuring that business intelligence, reporting, and analytics are relevant, convenient, and used by administrators, faculty, and students
4. Strategic Leadership: Repositioning or reinforcing the role of IT leadership as a strategic partner with institutional leadership
