EDUCAUSE 2025: Make it Simple, Make it Scalable
Creating the next generation of higher education learning environments isn’t just about technology, it’s about intention. Higher education IT leaders, supporters and vendor partners explored how campuses can design spaces that are simple, scalable and centered on human connection.
Successful innovation begins by bringing multiple voices to the table early and ensuring that everyone has a role in shaping what learning looks like, noted EDUCAUSE Senior Research Jenay Robert.
“We’re looking at this in a way where we’re saying, ‘How can we let the teacher stay in a state of flow?’” Gaurav Bradoo, director and head of education products and portfolio at Logitech, posited, emphasizing that the best technology disappears into the background and supports instruction rather than distracting from it.
DISCOVER: Universities collaborate to optimize their artificial intelligence projects.
That philosophy extends beyond hardware to designing learning ecosystems that are informed by how institutions can balance budgets, scale solutions across diverse classroom types, and strengthen collaboration with vendors and campus stakeholders.
