Increased use of information technology (IT) has been a game-changer in higher education. It is connecting people, resources, data and ideas. Diana Oblinger, chief executive of EDUCAUSE offers her insight on what the ‘connected age’ means and how it is leading to fresh ways of thinking.

“Technology has made the world a much more interconnected place and from an academic point of view, it has facilitated the sharing of new ideas and ways of doing things in higher education. The ‘connected age’ is a metaphor that applies to both education and IT.”

Diana asserts the ‘connected age’ is the natural progression from the ‘information age’, where the true value for institutions is not just in the information available but knowing what to do with it; connecting the dots on how various disciplines and data relate to each other.
