Academic Technology staff possess a wide range of skills and perspectives that are needed to help design, develop, and deliver the educational environments that current and future generations of learners expect. Despite the relentless budget cuts to the CSU, there are many positive initiatives throughout the system that have the potential to counteract some of these external pressures -- and CATS members play a pivotal role in ensuring their success. Dr. Maggie Beers, Director of Academic Technology at San Francisco State University, explores nine national and local higher education trends and initiatives. She provides explicit examples of ways that Next Generation CATS can capitalize on an array of technology innovations to help transform the CSU and the lives of its students.
