The first step to creating a strategy is to take inventory of your technology and meet with stakeholders. Matthew Hall, the new CIO at the University of Central Florida, is doing just that. “We are in the middle of an assessment. You can’t go where you want to go until you know where you are,” he says.
2. Focus on Inclusiveness and Accessibility

The IT staff takes a mobile-friendly approach because some students use smartphones as their primary computing devices, she says.
