CONNECTIVITY
This year, we explore "Connectivity". The California State University provides world-class connectivity to its campuses. How do we leverage that connectivity to help make the CSU more than the sum of its parts? Creating connections across the CSU can generate a collective intelligence that enables us to use technology to transcend time, space, and resource limits and empower us to become leaders in the field. Join with us in San Diego to explore connectivity, in every sense of the word.
Conference Tracks will be organized around the following themes:
Student Experience and Success: campus initiatives supporting Graduation Initiative 2025, online learning initiatives, advising, student belonging and inclusivity, student services initiatives, etc.
Leveraging Data: data-driven decision-making, learning analytics, data visualizations, data science, data lake initiative, centralized institutional research, etc.
Innovations for Teaching and Learning: classroom innovations, interactive video, new teaching environments, learning management system migrations and integrations, etc.
