EDUCAUSE is excited to announce the first ever Horizon Report devoted to supporting the holistic student experience, scheduled for publication in fall 2023!
Its focus is on the trends, technologies, and practices that will be most important for shaping the future of the student experience in higher education over the next ten years.
The six technologies and practices selected by the expert panel for 2023 are:
- Artificial intelligence
- Expanded mental health support for students
- Unified data models for learning analytics
- Supporting student connection with technology
- Building data literacy for understanding and using student data
- Accessible and inclusive tools and processes
The work featured can take almost any form: production or pilot programs, research projects, faculty undertakings, emerging technology trials, or evaluation/assessment projects. The intent is to give readers a more concrete sense of how these technologies and practices are playing out in higher education.
