1 IoT is a strategic asset to be deployed against documented needs. IoT is NOT just an infrastructure issue. The success of IoT is based in what you DO with the infrastructure.

2 Framing the Discussion 1. Define IoT; 2. Contextualize IoT; 3. Integrate IoT into the Higher Education Leadership ecosystem; 4. Identify specific IoT-related Higher Education issues.

3 Disclaimer This presentation is NOT one of those apocalyptic warnings that IoT is going to immediately take over the world and render humans irrelevant. This presentation is designed to support the position that: 1. IoT is here now, should be considered a strategic asset; 2. IoT is much more than the typical infrastructure marketing campaign, and that the true value of IoT will be inevitable changes in the way we live our lives; 3. Higher Education must plan for the inevitability of IoT. 4. IoT is not the domain of wizards and techno-priests

4 Obligatory Definition and Formula IoT= desire for IMMEDIATE gratification(transactional immediacy) + mobile devices + high speed Internet connectivity. IoT (today) refers to human demand for: 1. Internet Connected Devices( Mobility) 2. Device to device communication without Internet connectivity( Bluetooth) 3. Sensor to sensor communication( Big Data collection) 4. Sensor to Internet connectivity( Data Analytics and Distribution of Results)

5 Recent Predictions

6 Who Uses IoT Resources in the WICHE states? Babyboomers (born in 1940s) Generation X (born in 1960s) Millennials (born in 1980s)

7 Why Do They Use IoT Tech? Babyboomers convenience, comfort, communication, preventative healthcare, asset management Gen X predictive utility, asset generation, time/ risk management, social issue activism Millennials social experiences, immediate gratification, continuous dialog with friends

8 What are people buying? 1. Personal technology 2. Home technology 3. Business technology

9 Significance? Technology does not move from the campus to the home any more. Technology moves from the home to the campus. Ed Tech investment for the first half of 2015 totaled at least $1.3B. Higher ed students tend to have significant input into what technologies institutions purchase

10 Education Applications 1. Healthcare Specific Higher 2. E-commerce/Economic Development 3. Entertainment/Education 4. Personal/Institutional Finance 5. Personal/Organizational Relationships 6. Transportation

11 Specific Applications 1. Content Delivery - teaching/research 2. Public services(utilities/facility management) 3. Emergency Management planning/response 4. Public Safety(police, fire)- prevention/response 5. Healthcare delivery and data management

12 Communications Modes Man to man Man to computer to man Man to computer to computer Computer to computer Sensor to computer Sensor to sensor(to devices Devices to(devices(wearable,implanted, carried, imbedded, ubiquitous)

13 Transformation of Education, Workforce, and Community

14 Framing the Discussion The BYOD on Steroids Conundrum What do we do with an increasing number of Internetenabled students who show up in Internet-enabled vehicles ( or via high speed networks ), wearing Internet-enabled garments, bearing multiple Internetenabled devices, with the belief that our campuses have the resources required to meet their expectations.

15 Important Distinctions 1. Technology-assisted systems were designed to meet standard outcomes.(automation) 2. Technology-mediated systems were designed to meet standard outcomes with more processing power.( slightly distributed responsibilities) 3. Technology-enhanced truly adaptive systems(iot) are designed to match student needs with digital content by leveraging processor speeds, advanced network speeds, citizen-specific data analytics, (disaggregation and re-aggregation at the same time)

17 Why Should we Care? Student support requirements: housing, transportation, healthcare, entertainment, etc., needs will evolve more rapidly. Policy/planning requirements are in need of revision. Service requirements change more dramatically. Staffing transition requirements are becoming critical. Basic services investment requirements must keep pace as application requirements evolve. Financial uncertainty and focus on cost containment stress traditional models for encouraging innovation.

18 The Legal Perspective

19 Most Commonly Mentioned Benefits 1. operational efficiency 2. asset management 3. improved customer experience

20 Most Common Concerns Security (CHANCES ARE YOUR INSTITUTIONS ARE UNDER ATTACK AS WE SPEAK) Integration with legacy infrastructure Lack of standards(technical, policy) Cost

21 What s Hot? 1. Competency-based programs 2. Open Resources 3. Adaptive Learning 4. Accessibility 5. Data Analytics 6. Security versus Privacy 7. Technology-mediated testing(primitive) 8. Social media in the classroom 9. Remote instrumentation 10. Life-long learning and personal mobility( Digital Nomad)

22 2015 Higher Ed IT Priorities Hiring and Retaining Qualified Staff Optimizing the Use of Technology Developing IT Funding Models Improving Student Outcomes Demonstrating the Business Value of IT Increasing the Capacity for Managing Change Providing User Support Developing Security Policies for Mobile and Cloud Developing an Enterprise IT Architecture Balancing Agility, Openness and Security

23 Interesting Facts 1. Six in ten undergraduates connect at least two devices to the campus network % of students plan to purchase a tablet this academic year % of students plan to purchase a wearable device this year % of surveyed students say the high-speed ubiquitous access is good or excellent( today). 5. ECAR data clearly supports the mobile digital learning environment as a reality today. ( Educause Review Sept./Oct.2015)

24 Interesting Facts Impacted by IoT 1. US citizens spend roughly 5.5% of their discretionary budget on technology. Citizens only save 4% per year. (AICPA 2013) IoT will increase the percentage spent on technology. 2. Average spending on Educational Technology is significant and increasing. IoT will force this figure to increase at a steeper rate. 3. Public policy is evolving. IoT will influence the political process. 4. All major business sectors, except Education have a visible IoT strategy in place or under development. Failure to think strategically about the impact of IoT on Higher Education is a costly mistake.

25 Challenges being Highlighted by IoT 1. Inadequate funding improving, but not rapidly enough 2. Staffing Issues too few, hard to replace 3. Digital transition is a complex, multi-layered process. 4. Pressure to offer more technology-enhanced services is building daily. 5. Lack of a clear understanding of the applications side of the IoT phenomenon.

26 IoT: Gigabit Connectivity is more than Infrastructure Non-infrastructure issues and successes as well as lessons learned in Higher Education and rural communities.

27 Bottom Line If the Higher Education community continues to view IoT as an infrastructure issue, then we stand the possibility of becoming insignificant in the big picture. Accessible, sustainable, and affordable multi-gigabit broadband is a major challenge across the community ecosystem; legislators, funding agencies and foundations are well aware of the critical need to reduce costs and increase efficiency. IoT will put significant pressure on the decision-makers to react to the building awareness and demands from IP-enabled voters. The demand is to be sure communication is as seamless and efficient as technology will allow. Therefore, IoT should be engaged now as much more than a trendy infrastructure phenomenon. Local/Global competitiveness is at stake.

28 Primitive Examples of IoT in Action NETFLIX recommendation engine GPS location-based services TWITTER valuations push content to you and your followers FACEBOOK data collection/broadcast TRANSPORTATION,HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY investment, etc.

29 IoT IoT is already here IoT will drive infrastructure requirements, policy, finance, healthcare, public safety, population density, social structure. IoT will affect non-infrastructure issues: Our communities governance/services Our community s economy Our student s healthcare

30 Strategic Recommendation Lead the dialog with appropriate Higher Education expertise and endusers in order to: 1. Increase situational awareness of IoT use-cases in Higher Education. 2. Update the Higher Education policy framework to include IoT as a strategic investment requiring significant risk management and investment priority. 3. Develop and implement an IoT Strategy that ensures support for critical applications, required staffing, appropriate security, and innovation designed to leverage current and future IoT opportunities.
