suess4Technology in higher ed is something we’ve not touched on many times on the podcast.  Today we reverse that trend!  Jack Suess, the Vice President of Information Technology and CIO of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, joined us to talk about what they’re doing with “Big Data” on that campus, and how they’re using it to increase student success. We also talked about using the cloud to be a “greener” campus and the importance of quality WIFI coverage.
