EduCause - some survey data

(US) Undergraduate students and digital engagement.   Survey data below.



Sorry about the carpet.  56% would like better use of VLEs etc.  Seems a bit low.  Julian - watch out.  66% reckon they want better lecture capture systems.   ePortfolios don't get a strong vote at 28% which might be partly because the phrase ePortfolio is a bit clunky - e.g. is this a linkedin profile, online CV, portfolio of what I did at University or?

Next - Rate of change for Admin IT systems - data provided by CDS 2013.                       



Well, we're in the middle of replacing our CMS (with SiteCore) and CRM (with MS Dynamics).  Not sure e-Mail students is really in the same category? but we have moved to 365..  Helpdesk - we're also upgrading our Helpdesk (Hornbill) system.  BI - well, we're also going through major change here as well with the introduction the MS stack of SQL based BI infrastructure (Qlikview also in the mix).                               

And, what qualities, competencies will IT staff need?   Top 5.

Not quite convinced on how the source data was collected but here goes...


I guess there is no surprise on 'communication' being top.  Stephi (our marketing/communications coordinator) spends way to much time putting our techy reports into language our customers can easily digest

  1. Regarding "Early Alert" systems, I presume that this relates to "Student Engagement", and so perhaps, given the expectation, we need to focus on this as part of our future strategy. Enhance our Attendance Monitoring further...Jon Lane

  2. I think you're probably right Jon. We talked about this a couple of years ago but needs more attention. New IT strategy needs to start to come together this side of 2015.
