Advancing the Campus & Classroom with Modern Education Technology
The classroom is changing, as is the campus experience. Digital connection between classrooms, buildings, students and staff, and all other faculty has continued to grow in new and exciting directions.
Education Technology in K12 and Higher Education Today
There has never been a more unique or more critical time for educational institutions to plan their technology resources. Developments in technology over the past five years alone have created some of the most transformative opportunities in K-12 and higher education alike.
Artificial intelligence has reached an early crossroads in education. Schools and universities need to account for the costs, vulnerabilities, and management challenges that come with new AI tools and infrastructure. At the same time, these tools must still capture real value in the form of ROI and academic competitiveness, while also keeping pace with peer institutions. To achieve this, institutions must take all their end users into account: how educators, faculty, and students will each use these tools for research, optimization, workload balance, and countless other use cases.

Current Challenges in Education and Technology
A recent report from Clever found 52% of US school districts experienced a cybersecurity incident in 2025—up 16 percentage points from the previous year. That same study found 58% of districts adopted new technology to meet cyber insurance requirements, yet 39% weren't sure those changes actually improved their security, and only 12% said they significantly did.
Training and Preparation
Keeping everyone with access to your network secure is critical, but what about malicious attacks that seem normal? Ransomware and social engineering attacks are on the rise, and it takes only one bad click to open the floodgates. Managing your cybersecurity challenges means more than the technology you use; it also requires ongoing training and refining best practices to keep your end users secure.
Preparing for AI Threats
Part of the growing cyber threats is the evolution of AI into a weapon for bad actors. Ironically, one of the best solutions to these AI threats is an AI cybersecurity strategy. 'Using AI to protect against AI' might seem uncanny, but it's rapidly becoming one of the most effective uses of AI in campus security today.
Rising IT and Technology Costs
At the same time, rising technology costs have collided with unpredictable budget constraints. In short: making the most of every investment has never mattered more. Institutions are asked to do more with less while still delivering a secure, positive experience for students and faculty.
Trends in Education IT
From AI readiness to cybersecurity and infrastructure modernization, Redesign helps education organizations turn complex technology priorities into practical strategies, and then helps execute them.
AI Tools
From K-12 classrooms to higher education research facilities, artificial intelligence is something every administration is considering. The possibilities of a more personalized curriculum, generative tools, and the potential for relationship-building between students and teachers make this technology appealing and exciting. However, concerns about safe application remain top-of-mind, ensuring that security and student experiences are not negatively impacted by the rollout of these tools.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly expansive and complex in education. Planning a well-rounded strategy that includes multi-factor authentication, training to recognize external threats, and building incident response plans helps create layers of protection for all end users and devices. However, as technology continues to evolve, threats will evolve with it. This makes cybersecurity an always-on practice in education.
Student Data Management
Every element of the student experience can be captured digitally. This extends beyond grades to include individual actions and behaviors. When used effectively, this data can be leveraged to optimize each student’s experience, creating more engaging programs designed for success. However, the data must be properly categorized, stored securely, and retrievable to be applied effectively.
