Even Universities Change

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Even Universities Change (ID: CSD4558)
Author(s):Stuart J. Feldman (IBM Corporation)
Source:Issues in Science and Technology
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Industry restructured dramatically in response to IT progress, and education leaders should prepare for similar upheaval. U.S. research universities are going to change, and education leaders would be wise to begin now to direct that change. This will not be easy, but they have the advantage of being able to learn from the experience of many U.S. corporations that have reinvented themselves to respond to the market changes caused by the rapid advances in information technology (IT).

The Economic Imperative for Teaching with Technology

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Economic Imperative for Teaching with Technology (ID: CSD4559)
Author(s):Susanne Lohmann (UCLA)
Source:Issues in Science and Technology
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Innovative approaches to increasing classroom productivity are the best option for controlling the escalating costs of research universities. In 1997, management guru Peter Drucker predicted that in 30 years the big university campuses would be relics, driven out of existence by their inexorable increases in tuition and by competition from alternative education systems made possible by information technology (IT). Drucker overstates the case, but the nation's major research universities, both the publics and the private nonprofits, will have to make fundamental changes in the way they provide education if they are to thrive, rather than merely survive, in the coming decades.
