Technical Debt in Higher Ed

August 15, 2023

In the IT world the phrase “technical debt” is a well-known phrase and it is used effectively to describe problems and why they are so difficult (expensive) to fix. The term first came about in 1992 and was coined by Ward Cunningham. Cunningham was particularly referring to software coding, and that is a common way the word is used. However, I think that it is a phrase that can be expanded to apply well to our classrooms and AV systems across colleges and universities. Link to the entire story.
