GROW WITH NETAPP

Our reliance on the internet and mobile devices has brought on a 21st century digital learning movement in today’s learning environments. Almost 60 percent of technology leaders in education say that one quarter of their school’s instructional materials are digital. Furthermore, the rise of online learning, digitization of education portals and statewide testing, as well as demand for technology trends such as BYOD and cloud, and more, have all contributed to the explosion of data that educational institutions face today.
