Data Almanac by Institution Type: The 2019 Top 10 Strategic Technologies

Abstract

The EDUCAUSE 2019 Top 10 Strategic Technology lists reflect the level of attention that the higher education technology community is giving to various existing and emerging technologies. Based on survey responses, EDUCAUSE has identified the top 10 strategic technologies for higher education. By our definition, strategic technologies are those relatively new technologies that institutions will be spending the most time implementing, planning, and tracking in 2019. This year, 297 US and 47 non- US CIOs and IT leaders shared their current practices and intended deployment plans for 77 different technologies. The number of respondents rating individual technologies ranged from 246 to 278. Sample sizes presented in the following lists represent the fewest respondents for any technology within each list.
This almanac depicts four ways to view the top 10 strategic technologies: by all US institutions (overall rank order), by Carnegie Classification, by technology approach (early, mid, and late adopters), and by institution size (as measured by student FTE). These views can help personalize the top 10 strategic technology experience and compare your institution’s status to your peers’.
