Embracing The New Normal Of Education: Decoding Future Imperatives

The impact on education sector has been significant with the disruption of academic schedules at schools and higher education institutions due to suspension of classes over a prolonged period.

As students and faculty remains confined to their homes, education institutions are exploring ways to keep engaged with their students virtually and completing their courses. To maximize their educational experiences, students want to work more efficiently and at their convenience, and that means having 24x7 IT support for any device at their disposal. All this is happening when education IT budgets, staff, and resources are constrained, which makes it difficult to answer help desk calls, maintain computer lab hours, and ensure system security.

Depending on the particular education institution, instructors and/or department heads are charged with working with IT teams to ensure that students have equal access to a wide variety of computing tools from legacy applications to high performance, 3D applications. Prior to desktop virtualization, students had to install and support each application. With desktop virtualization, the IT department can install an application on a single golden image and deliver that same image to all students in the class.

This virtual event will cover practical examples and innovations:

• Explore how Digital transformation will impact education culture, workforce, and technology
• Understand the importance of planning for digital transformation now
• Learn from top institutions how they are moving forward with digital transformation initiatives
• How to successfully, and safely, manage the technologies for all users: staff, students, partners, alumni
• Security landscape of cloud computing, mobile solutions and other technologies
• Authenticating identity and authorising access as the new front in the escalating war with cyber adversaries
