TOP 10 STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGIES: 2017

By our definition, strategic technologies are those relatively new technologies institutions will be spending the most time implementing, planning, and tracking in 2017. What are the top strategic technologies for higher education this year? Based on survey responses to how much time, active attention, and priority CIOs and IT leaders gave to 85 different technologies, EDUCAUSE has identified the top 10 strategic technologies for higher education.

The accompanying list initially depicts the overall rank order of the 2017 top 10 strategic technologies. The filters for Carnegie Classification, control, institutional approach to technology, and size (based on student FTE levels) can be used to customize the list to represent the top 10 technologies at a subset of institutions.
