How will EDUCAUSE implement its strategic directions?
The association has already begun to implement the strategic directions by reviewing its events and resources for alignment with them. Based on its findings, EDUCAUSE will establish programs in each focus area to coordinate their development across EDUCAUSE events, publications, resources, and services. Efforts will center on the core activities identified above (knowledge creation and dissemination, community and collaboration, policy analysis and advocacy, career and leadership development, and experimentation). Work will initially focus on Teaching and Learning and Security (as part of the Managing the Enterprise focus area). Additional focus area programs will be developed over the next few years until EDUCAUSE has established well-defined programs in each area.
