Ep. 80 - Higher Ed Is on Fire. We Need a Better Signal.

“The Signal” is launching with a vital mission: to cut through the overwhelming noise surrounding technology in higher education and deliver honest conversations about what truly matters. Hosted by Jeff Dillon, this show originates from a thriving community – a decade-long email listserv (now boasting nearly 70,000 members) of web directors, digital marketers, and leaders across higher ed who were grappling with responsive design, mobile technology, and the evolving needs of students. The show’s core focus is identifying what’s actually moving the needle and understanding how faculty and students are utilizing technology daily. Jeff emphasizes the critical need to avoid making policy decisions “blind,” urging listeners to engage with the conversations shaping higher education. “The Signal” is committed to uncovering those real-world insights and fostering a community where innovative ideas can thrive. The show continues every Friday with the same format and commitment to honest conversations about leadership and technology’s impact on higher education.
