When AV Tech Fails, Students & Faculty Leave
In this new research from AVIXA and Logitech, more than 1,800 AV/IT professionals, faculty, and students across North America and Europe share how technology performance directly impacts engagement, retention, and institutional reputation.
The findings are clear: when AV systems fail, faculty and students consider leaving. Hybrid learning remains a critical yet fragile link, while limited staffing, funding pressures, and interoperability challenges continue to slow progress. At the same time, nearly every institution has technology projects planned, with a focus on smarter, interoperable investments that improve reliability while staying within budget.
This report explores the real cost of outdated or unreliable AV, why faculty satisfaction is a leading measure of IT success, and how proactive management and streamlined systems can protect enrollment, strengthen trust, and maximize long-term ROI.
