Higher education leaders are looking for a source of reliable information on which to base increasingly complex and risky information technology decisions. And, as a supplier of products and services to higher education, you want the best information possible as well. Not only can such information help you refine your marketing, product plans, and consulting, but it can also help you make better decisions.. ECAR was created to provide research-based, trustworthy information on information technology in higher education.
The EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) is designed to provide research-based, trustworthy information on information technology in higher education.
Research studies
Research studies reflect substantial research efforts of strategic importance to higher education such as wireless networking, trends in outsourcing and co-sourcing, and pedagogical and support issues associated with e-learning. ECAR will publish four such studies annually.
Research bulletins
These frequent electronic updates provide credible, thoughtful and timely analysis of key IT developments and illustrate their impact on higher education. Research bulletins are concise, insightful treatments of current topics that may range from products/services to policy.
Case studies
Case Studies are institution-specific or topic-specific reports designed to exemplify important themes, trends, and experiences in the management of information technology investments and activities. Case Studies relate to, and are undertaken as part of, specific ECAR Research Studies.
Roadmaps
ECAR Roadmaps synthesize important IT issues and provide recommendations for action in higher education. The content draws from ECAR Research Studies and Case Studies. ECAR Roadmaps are available to the public.
Subscriber Web site
All ECAR information is made available on a private Web site allowing subscribers ready access to the information. Reports, research updates, the ECAR research agenda, and information about subscriber-only events is posted to this site.
Note: Corporate subscribers do not have access to materials licensed to ECAR for the exclusive benefit of higher education institutions.
Access to ECAR research will help companies by providing
research results that can help you refine your marketing;
analyses that can influence product plans and future directions
data and insights that can augment consulting and consultative selling and
