Technology Spending On The Decline At Many Schools

A recent SIIA study indicates a decline in what had been steady progress toward schools and universities building technology and e-learning into their frameworks.

She notes that it’s not just budget cuts, but also the emotional impact of those cuts — and of prolonged economic hardship in general — that’s affecting how schools buy and integrate technology.
