EDUCAUSE is one of the most influential professional organizations in the field of information technology in higher education all over the world. The current membership of EDUCAUSE comprises over 2,400 colleges, univer-sities and education organizations, including 250 corporations. Dr. Diana Oblinger joined EDUCAUSE in 2004 as a vice president and was named president in 2008. Under her leadership, the association has seen sizable growth in membership, new programs, and influence. Previously, Dr. Oblinger held positions in academia and business： Vice President for Information Resources and the Chief Information Officer for the University of North Carolina system, Ex-ecutive Director of Higher Education for Microsoft, and IBM Director of the Institute for Academic Technology. As the president, Dr. Oblinger created the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative （ ELI） with the focus on millennial students and how information technology could be used to enhance their learning. She also launched the Next Generation Learning Challenges （ NGLC ） , which provides grants for transformational technology-mediated programs in post-secondary and secondary institutions. These efforts change the focus of IT practice in higher education from administration to teaching and learning. During the 2014 annual conference of EDUCAUSE which was held in Orlando, from September 29 to October 2, 2014, one of the authors had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Diana Oblinger and interviewed her about information technology in higher education. During the one-hour meeting, Dr. Oblinger introduced the main things that EDU-CAUSE does to advance higher education, explained the core value of EDUCAUSE with the phrase of “uncommon thinking for common good”, and expressed her thinking about the trends and issues of technology innovation in the field of higher education, particularly in the field of teaching and learning. During the meeting, she also described the evolving role of information technology professionals in higher education and the qualities that a CIO should have, shared her professional experiences in the various fields including information technology industry, higher education institutions and non-profit organizations such as EDUCAUSE, and provided her comments on some of the emerging technologies in the field of teaching and learning, including analytics, dashboard, business intelligence, and so on.
