<div dir="ltr">During all phases of the EI efforts, we have engaged IT professionals as key campus partners. Our vice provost for information technology—also the chief information officer—joined and championed early campus EI planning conversations. He understood the collective leadership approach and the communication strategies needed for this effort. He aligned our EI work with a concurrent campus-wide strategic planning effort: Administrative Excellence, which is developing a new enterprise IT decision-making campus structure.<br>
<br>This will ensure that decisions around the costs, needed resources, and strategic directions for learning technologies will follow a high-level and campus-wide strategic planning and decision-making process. It also guarantees that the importance of transforming teaching and learning through the use of technology is reflected in campus strategic planning and budgeting processes<br>
