[run-on but very depressing sentence continues]

23. Opportunities

24. Emerging Opportunities Well, we have the geniuses….

25. USG must provide multiple pathways and educational experiences to meet the needs of our students and the state.

26. These pathways and educational experiences influence and improve other experiences.

28. I need an educational experience utilizing the latest technologies and graduate with no debt.

29. I need a selective higher educational experience at one of the best institutions in the world.

32. Affordable Resources • We are at a point of transformation in the publishing industry. • Many students cannot afford textbooks. • Does the value in hundreds of different USG versions of English 101 outweigh the cost? • We need to start collaborating on purchasing textbooks. • We need to accelerating faculty creation of USG textbooks. • Ecore is a great place to start. • Governor Deal is investing in this transformation.

33. Networks • For faculty to innovate with technology, the technology must always work in the classroom. • PeachNet has been transformational in USG as a enabling component. • The Georgia Department of Education is likely to join PeachNet this upcoming year. • This creates new opportunities to educate and inspire students.

34. Analytics • Tremendous work is being done to move from: • descriptive analytics (this is what happened) to • predictive analytics (this is what will happen) • Supports intrusive advising • Tremendous success being realized at Georgia State University, Columbus State, and other institutions.
