Hello Higher Education community,
In today's challenging budget environment, IT teams and educators are being asked to do more with less. But here's what I've learned: we don't have to figure it out alone.
Whether you're managing devices across multiple campuses, supporting remote learning initiatives, or navigating the unique challenges of academic IT, your experiences matter and they can help someone else who's facing similar hurdles.
Let's Build Our Community 💪
I'm inviting you to share your real-world stories, creative solutions, and honest challenges. No solution is too small, no question too basic. We're stronger when we learn from each other.
Here's what I'd love to hear about:
⏰ Time-Saving Solutions That Actually Work
- How are you maximizing efficiency with your existing Jamf setup?
- What workflows or automations have given you hours back in your week?
- Share your "game-changer moments" that streamlined your processes.
📚 Academic-Specific Use Cases
- How do you handle the unique rhythms of academic calendars?
- Managing devices across dorms, labs, faculty, admin spaces, etc.
- Supporting both BYOD and institution-owned devices.
🤝 Collaboration Wins
- How do you work with academic departments who have different needs?
- Building bridges between IT and faculty/staff.
- Student worker programs that actually work.
⚡ Quick Wins That Made a Big Impact
- Small changes that improved your workflow significantly.
- Policies or configurations that solved persistent headaches.
- Automation that eliminated repetitive tasks.
