When the University of California, San Diego launched its largest investment in tech in 2018, they planned to future proof their business processes and systems. Unexpectedly, it also prepared them to handle a global pandemic that changed every norm for the campus. With shelter-in-place orders taking immediate effect, they needed to quickly set up a robust online learning platform - one with powerful analytics to track student success. And, for the times students and staff are on campus, a contact tracing application was essential for their safety. We’d like to offer a conversation with Scott Lee to tell you more about UC San Diego’s rapid transformation from a traditional, on-campus institution to one of the leading examples of remote learning, and the critical role data connectivity played in making this possible.
