Technology in Higher Education
Student expectation has never played a more important part in university decision-making. The introduction of £9,000 fees has placed an increasing burden on universities to respond to the demands of their students and provide a much more business-like service. Whether it’s enabling users to bring their own devices to campus, providing 24/7 support or personalising learning, the pressure on universities to deliver is immense when it comes to technology.
Technology in Higher Education at Bett 2013 had created a space for higher education professionals involved in IT provision to share ideas, future-gaze and streamline technology decision-making. In more than 14 hours of free-to-attend seminars, experts within higher education and their counterparts in the corporate world provided insight into technology delivery on a budget and managing user expectations.
