Strategic Approaches to Campus Tech

Technology decisions on campus are rarely simple. Systems overlap, contracts persist, and tools often serve multiple stakeholders.

As financial pressures mount, colleges can’t afford to avoid knowing what works. Leaders need clear frameworks for understanding the impact of their technology investments and the confidence to act on what they find.

In the new Chronicle report, Making Wise Tech Investments, higher-education experts break down how institutions can evaluate the effectiveness of their technology portfolios with greater rigor and clarity. Drawing on survey data from more than 900 administrators, the report reveals how colleges are currently approaching these decisions.

Readers will come away with: 

• Key criteria for evaluating the payoff of campus technologies.

• Strategies for making difficult discontinuation decisions.

• Guidance on distinguishing between low-performing and underused tools.

• Insight into common obstacles and how to overcome them.
