#Educause / @Educause has been (rightly) promoting #Dx in #HigherEd.

Shannon McFarland, chief architect at Cisco, described #OpenSource as "a way enterprises can more directly address their #DigitalTransformation needs."

Something for #HigherEd?

In Ireland, the YERUN Open Science Award was given to Lero’s Open Science Committee for their work in bringing in an “open by default” policy for publishing research papers, software, and data. Lero is the software research center of Ireland’s national body for strategic funding of oriented basic and applied research in STEM areas.

Something for #HigherEd to think about?

Dutch Minister for Digitalisation announced the creation of a national #OpenSource Programme Office (#OSPO) to look at technical issues and also cultural and organizational issues of #FOSS, specifically highlighting a need to change the culture of closedness that currently exists in public administrations, despite civil servants’ best efforts.

Ever since the #usenix #lisa conference folded, I’ve been wondering about other conferences. Anyone out there have experience with #educause? I’m curious about how that con stands up in comparison to others.

À la restitution de la délégation française de la conférence #Educause, Laurent Fleury nous parle de la crise systémique du système universitaire états-unien. Dette étudiante, démographie en baisse, baisse du flux d'étudiant⋅es étranger⋅es, inflation. La crise s'installe. #ESR

Excited to attend AXIES Conference, Sendai, Japan on behalf of #Apereo.

If you don't know AXIES, they facilitate #EdTech across #HigherEducation in Japan; a bit like #EDUCAUSE. Founding members include Japan's top research universities. See, https://en.axies.jp

The @apereo Foundation is working with AXIES and other #highered consortia to increase the use of #opensource software in #edtech.

Thank you to the AXIES planning committee for inviting me to participate.

This is an interesting piece in #EDUCAUSE Review about the inevitable need for change in #highered.

The issue I see is that our industry is slow to change, and we get in our own way. How do we change ourselves to be able to accept change?
