Event Overview
It is reassuring to see how rapidly the education industry has mobilized remote learning in response to campus closures during the COVID-19 crisis. The emergency response to the pandemic has transformed the landscape of higher learning in only a few weeks.
For academic leaders, the next challenge is addressing business continuity as we move into a recovery phase and adapt to today’s “new normal.” Increased reliance on digital learning resources brings new considerations and priorities for academic IT teams, such as a greater focus on cost-optimization and digital security.
In this webinar, experts from Kivuto will offer practical advice for academic IT teams to help manage the new normal and foreseeable hybrid ecosystem for the next school year. You will also hear from Eastern Michigan University’s Aric Kirkland on his institution’s experiences transitioning to remote education and navigating this new normal.
Session Outcomes
- Learn about the current state of digital-resource management in the education industry and how it has impacted schools with COVID-19 campus closures
- Identify solutions to today’s “new normal” that will help academic IT teams securely manage and distribute digital resources to stakeholders both on and off-campus
- Practical advice on how to face rising academic IT challenges caused by COVID-19, including issues related to cost-optimization, security, compliance, and licensing
