The web site for CSU Innovate includes four areas of focus:
- Redesigning the Student Experience
- Cloud Migration
- Visual Interface
- Collaboration at a Distance
Of these areas, the first two areas generated the most consistent interest levels from the respondents – a mean of 4.3/5 for student experience and 4.5/5 for cloud migration. The later two areas, while of interest to many ITAC members, had significantly lower means (3.3/5 for both).
As shown here, the topic interest for the Student Experience focus was quite scattered.

However, the cloud migration area elicited a clear interest in the development of cloud architectures.
