The Start of Something New: Practical Guidance for Higher Ed

September 18, 2025

Comments

For more than 25 years, we’ve focused on one thing: helping colleges and universities use technology to advance their educational missions and improve the experiences for members of their communities. Our aim is practical, and our course is steady. We care less about shiny tools and media hype, and more about what moves real work forward and improves outcomes for students, faculty, and staff. 

Progress, of course, is a community project, and the best ideas tend to travel when peers share what worked, what didn’t, and what they plan to try next. We move at the pace of those campus conversations—listening first, testing and refining, and then translating what we hear into practical guidance you can use.  

To make that guidance easier to find and use, today, we’re proud to announce a clearer, more consistent lineup of blog series, webinars, and communications. Think of it as a syllabus you’ll actually want to keep and use: predictable schedules, minimal jargon, and plenty of quick wins you can put to work on campus right away.  

Below is what’s coming, why it matters, and how to use each series to support your goals. We can’t wait to engage with you and learn more together! 

 

The HEat Index (weekly) 

Seventy-six issues and counting, this is our quick look at the hot topics in higher education news and why we think they matter. Use it to surface news you might have missed or to spark a conversation with your team for the week ahead.  

 

One Chart, One Decision (weekly) 

One visualization and the question it answered (that’s it!). We’ll unpack the chart in 250 words or less so you can quickly understand when to use it to make similar decisions on your campus.  

  • Look for our first post in this miniature new series starting Monday, September 22!  

 

AI, Responsibly (twice monthly)

Practical explainers that cut through AI and new-technology hype and show what campuses can actually do next. Each blog post ends with a clear action you can carry into your next meeting with campus leadership.  

  • Look for our first post in this exciting new series on Tuesday, September 23! 

 

Field Guide Series (limited six-part series each semester) 

Step-by-step learning tracks that walk a team from concept to practice in six sessions. Follow along with each session, collect the templates, and finish with a complete field guide you can keep. 

  • Launching in early October! 

 

Data Management & Modernization (monthly)

Hear from Evisions leadership about our philosophy and ideas on long-term data management and modernization best practices in a rapidly changing data landscape. Expect clear decision criteria you can bring to your next planning meeting. 

  • Launching in mid-October! 

 

Client Spotlight (monthly) 

A short conversation with colleagues on campuses about real work they built with Evisions tools and what they learned along the way. We’ll point you to any templates or artifacts so you can adapt them just for you and your campus! 

  • Launching in late-October! 

 
What to expect next 

In the coming weeks you will see the first One Chart, One Decision and AI, Responsibly posts, along with the opening module of the Field Guide Series. Each post in these new series is designed to help you get more from your Evisions products and services, and to share artifacts you can reuse. 

If you want alerts when each series goes live, subscribe to our newsletter, follow us on LinkedIn, or ask your Strategic Solutions Manager in CET for more details. 

We will share our best thinking, and we would love to highlight your progress. If you have a chart, a win, or a lesson learned, send it our way!
