This short post summarizes the 2022 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report: Data and Analytics Edition (54 page PDF) and focuses on the 15 trends across five categories it outlines: data-supported social equity, lagging technology, economic challenges from external competitors, the influence of environmental issues, and the interplay between politics and education. These lead to the four scenarios, which are, respectively: only measurement matters, budget-imposed constraint, institutional collapse, and institutional transformation. The report itself also outlines key analytics technologies and trends (p. 12) which include emphases on data management, data sources, architecture, data literacy, diversity equity and inclusion (DEI), and assessment.
