This year was a milestone for us, as our team grew and our scope expanded from ITS Innovation to Innovation, Digital Experience, and Accessibility (IDEA). The CSU’s Accessible Technology Initiative found a new home in ITS, and alignment with the skills and values on the IDEA team. This new name reflects our goal to explore emerging technologies systematically and responsibly, centering user experience and digital accessibility and equity. Our team leverages approaches from design thinking, user experience design, and universal design principles to enhance digital experiences for students, faculty, and staff, with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
For our 2024 ITS Innovation Annual Report, we showcase our key achievements and initiatives of the past year. In this report, you will find examples of how we have fostered a culture of innovation, enhanced digital experience, and re-invigorated the accessible technology community across the California State University system. We have collaborated with Chancellor’s Office departments and CSU campuses to explore and implement new solutions that enhance teaching, learning, and service delivery. We are proud of what we have accomplished and excited about what lies ahead.
