Tech Explosion in Higher Ed Means Balancing Student Access with Innovation

Overcoming college student technology access barriers amidst the pandemic.

Federal COVID relief funding provided to higher education institutions has allowed many colleges and universities to offer academic programs despite myriad challenges presented by the pandemic. While a portion of the relief funding has provided much needed financial assistance to students, it has also allowed institutions to invest in technology improvements.

With this additional funding and the need to stand up sustainable online learning and remote operations in short order, institutions that previously delayed new technology implementations are now moving forward full-steam ahead with digital transformation initiatives – many of which are focused on enrollment and financial aid processing.
