Listen "Who Are HigherEd's Tech Leaders?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we unpack a fascinating analysis from a recent ListEdTech blog post by Justin Ménard, which examines the "early adopters" segment of the Product Adoption Curve in higher education. By tracking twenty institutions that consistently appear among the first to adopt new technologies across thirty product categories, the study identifies a core group of HigherEd's Tech Leaders. Mostly small- to mid-sized institutions concentrated in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, these early adopters play an outsized role in shaping the sector. Their willingness to take risks helps vendors refine new products and sets benchmarks that influence adoption patterns nationwide. We explore who these institutions are, why their behavior matters, and what their leadership reveals about the future of EdTech innovation.
