Building Robust Digital Infrastructures for Evolving Education Environments

Most undergraduate and graduate students’ academic trajectories will feature prominent online components by 2023, according to chief online officers responding to the 2022 Changing Landscape of Online Education survey.

These officials also note that neither exclusively face-to-face nor online learning will dominate – instead, most students will take courses based in classrooms with significant digital components or classes delivered mostly online with residential components – a model most widely known as "blended."

But are higher education institutions equipped with the tools to maintain a blended learning model successfully?

According to a 2022 EDUCAUSE report:

• More than 3/4 of higher education students experienced one or more technical issues over the past year
• More than half of students said at least one of these issues caused them stress
• Almost 30% said that in the past year, their primary device lost connectivity during class, an exam or another synchronous activity
