As higher education institutions have worked to address the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic — including lockdown restrictions, financial pressures and the need to deliver online instruction — many have found a silver lining of innovation.

EDUCAUSE 2020: Ohio Consortium Builds a Cross-Industry Cybersecurity Defense

The Northeast Ohio CyberConsortium, launched in 2015 by Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic, has grown into a multimember, multi-industry information security analysis organization.

EDUCAUSE 2020: Cisco Webex Classrooms Integrate the Online Experience

As higher education has shifted among remote, in-person and hybrid learning experiences this year, many leaders believe flexible learning environments are here to stay. To that end, Cisco this fall debuted Webex Classrooms, a collaboration platform that can provide learning management system functionality or integrate with an existing LMS. To facilitate on-campus learning, Cisco's DNA Spaces uses network-based location analytics to provide insight into networked devices for a variety of use cases.
EDUCAUSE 2020: How Automation Can Help Universities Balance Security and Privacy

On many campuses, openness and independence are among the traditional cornerstones of academic freedom. Yet in the technology-driven environments of today's colleges, particularly at research-intensive institutions, IT leaders must strive to balance that openness with the need to keep data secure. Similarly, colleges must achieve a balance between the emphasis on data-driven instruction and decision-making and the imperative to protect privacy. Automated tools are making it easier to address both aims, even as colleges dramatically scale the amount of data they process.
EDUCAUSE 2020: How Colleges Have Shifted to Remote Models for Esports

While many collegiate athletics programs have been forced to go on hold as campuses closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, esports has been able to carry on — and in some cases, thrive. Because esports is already dependent on technology, there was no need to rethink the core of the model.
