Quantifying cyber risk in terms of financial exposure helps K–12 IT teams justify their spending and make the case that security is an enterprise-critical endeavor. This approach pushes districts to audit existing security tools, prioritize threats based on potential financial impact and measure success in dollar-based risk exposure rather than technical metrics. Here’s how a quantified risk analysis can help K–12 security leaders identify which investments meaningfully reduce exposure and which

Chopping a 60-minute course into 610-minute clips isn't microlearning. Real microlearning is designed around how memory works—spaced, single-concept, retrieval-based. Here's the difference, and why it decides whether training survives past the quiz. This post was first published on eLearning Industry.

Connected systems help institutions personalize engagement, respond in real time, and support the entire student journey. GUEST COLUMN | by Jess Lanning The traditional enrollment funnel—awareness, inquiry, application, decision—has guided higher ed institutions for decades. And the framework itself isn’t the problem. It’s that the systems built to execute it haven’t kept up. Today’s students move across channels, devices, and timelines that rarely follow a straight line. Yet most institutions

Whatever your institution’s policy on student AI use, whether strict prohibition, permitted use with disclosure, or something still being worked out, you face the same underlying challenge: when a submission raises questions about whether a student did their own thinking, you need a legitimate way to find out. AI detectors won’t give you one; research has shown they produce unacceptable false positive rates and carry particular bias against non-native English speakers (Liang
