Course topics & concepts:
This course provides methods and project-oriented experiences, enabling managers and master trainers to educate their sub-groups in facilitation methods for managing transition and change within the organizational structure. Most often, it’s not the change itself that defeats a new technology implementation, nor new methods, skill sets or the flexibility required to change the workforce’s thinking – it’s the transition from losing a known skill set, to the new company mission/goals, which have not been acquired or mastered. This program helps companies with training organizations to develop the capacity for change, helping employees and administrators to acquire new skills critical for their company’s success.
Course topics & concepts:
As education organizations accelerate the digital transformation of their industry, they are focusing their investments in leveraging information technology to improve student outcomes, improve the quality of programs and research, and lower overall costs. In today’s highly regulated, increasingly resource-constrained, and cost-focused environment it is essential to understand how to manage an organization’s information technology (IT) resources effectively and efficiently. There are numerous strategic, tactical, and operational choices to be made about managing Education IT resources and it is essential to ensure that IT and non-IT executives across the organization work in harmony.

This course prepares education executives/professionals by providing a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental decisions related to the management of IT resources in the education environment. The course will also provide an overview of current and future relevant education information technologies and their potential impact on students, faculty, administrative organizations, and associated stakeholders. The focus will be on leveraging AI and the successful deployment of AI initiatives in education.
