This episode is a deep dive into a joint AVIXA and Logitech research effort focused on the lived technology experience in higher education. Host Ryan Gray speaks with Jackie Young, who leads global marketing for Logitech for Education, about why Logitech invests in human centric research and what the survey surfaced about the connection between classroom technology and overall institutional reputation.
They discuss what it means when hybrid course expectations outpace room performance, why faculty satisfaction shows up as a defining success metric for AV and IT leaders, and how seemingly small friction points can ripple into student and faculty decisions about whether they stay. The conversation closes with a practical set of pillars from the research and a reminder that future ready planning starts with reliability and intuitive setup today.
