enCPaaS for Higher Education: Transforming Campus Communications
https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2025/11/cpaas-higher-education-transforming-campus-communications-perfcon
For a positive experience, people need to feel heard and to get answers quickly — especially students who are on their own for the first time. To meet that mark, some universities are incorporating chatbots, cloud-based phones and other digital communication tools. But these disparate systems can be costly and complicated to manage.
Communications Platform as a Service solutions bring all of these tools together. By integrating SMS, voice, video and chat capabilities directly into existing student systems through application program interfaces, CPaaS can help schools modernize campus...2025年11月14日 14:54:28 -0500Adam Stonehttps://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2025/11/cpaas-higher-education-transforming-campus-communications-perfconEDUCAUSE 2025: Make it Simple, Make it Scalable
https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/media/video/educause-2025-make-it-simple-make-it-scalable
Creating the next generation of higher education learning environments isn’t just about technology, it’s about intention. Higher education IT leaders, supporters and vendor partners explored how campuses can design spaces that are simple, scalable and centered on human connection.
Successful innovation begins by bringing multiple voices to the table early and ensuring that everyone has a role in shaping what learning looks like, noted EDUCAUSE Senior Research Jenay Robert.

When Jeff Falsetti invoked AI — Allen Iverson, not artificial intelligence (just yet) — he made his point clear: in cybersecurity, practice isn’t optional, it’s preparation.
At EDUCAUSE 2025, CDW experts Falsetti and Patrick Sullivan shared insights at a conference session titled, "Defending the Digital Campus: Mastering Incident Response in Higher Education." Falsetti, a DFIR technical lead consultant, and Sullivan, a senior manager of security sales, joined industry peers to explore new strategies for mastering incident response in higher education through proactive tabletop exercises...2025年11月12日 17:56:35 -0500https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/media/video/higher-ed-strengthens-incident-response-ai-and-practiceReview: Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager Eases Device Visibility

Higher education institutions handle a lot of sensitive information, from financial records to student grades. Yet many universities struggle when it comes to providing enough IT or security resources to protect their networks or environment. That’s one reason why education is quickly becoming one of the most attacked sectors.
Thankfully, the cloud-based Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager was designed with that environment in mind. It allows smaller IT departments to effectively employ automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to manage a massive number of mobile endpoints, even if they don’t...2025年11月12日 16:25:30 -0500John Breeden IIhttps://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2025/11/review-ivanti-unified-endpoint-manager-eases-device-visibilityEDUCAUSE 2025: Where Will Higher Ed Be in 10 Years?

What does the next decade hold for higher education? At the 2025 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, a panel of experts gave their predictions for the state of curriculum, workplace and leadership in higher ed by 2035. The consensus from the panel was that higher education must reimagine itself through artificial intelligence-enabled, human-centered approaches that prioritize learning, adaptability and innovation. Here’s how they see the future shaping up.

Higher education leaders are navigating massive shifts in technology, teaching and student expectations — and no single institution or partner can do it alone.
At EDUCAUSE 2025, Brandon Rich, director of AI enablement at the University of Notre Dame, and Sarah Christen, deputy CIO at Cornell University, led a session on this very topic along with Damian Doyle, deputy CIO at the University of Virginia, at the EDUCAUSE 2025 session, "Collaboration as Our Superpower: Building Specialized Higher Ed IT Communities of Excellence."

On college campuses, cybersecurity is increasingly touted as the responsibility of every end user. In the 2026 EDUCAUSE Top 10, collaborative cybersecurity was named the top issue for the coming year. According to Mark McCormack, senior director of analytics and research for EDUCAUSE, the leaders who contributed to the report see cybersecurity as a shared responsibility across the institution.
"Security in general can't be viewed as a barrier to our work," he said. "It's important for everyone, and everyone has to be a partner in building and supporting those capabilities for the institution...2025年10月31日 14:57:13 -0400 Amy McIntoshhttps://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2025/10/educause-2025-institutions-build-cybersecurity-campus-cultureEDUCAUSE 2025: Top 10 List Highlights Higher Ed’s Need for Connection
