Synopsis

The rush over the last ten years to democratizetechnology in higher education by pouring vast sumsof money into the systematic development oftechnological infrastructures seems to have surpassedthe ability of educational institutions to affect thesuccessful transfer of skill and technological “knowhow” into the traditional classroom. The new goal inhigher education now seems to be the creation of auniversity-wide professoriate in both information andtechnology literacy. However, technology alone doesnothing to enhance pedagogy; successful integrationis about the ways in which technology tools are usedand integrated into teaching. Successful integrationof technology into pedagogy depends upon four primaryareas: technological infrastructure, technologyliteracy, technology training, and the development ofhybrid courses. This, of course, means that facultymust be trained in the use of the tools—not justgiven access to the tools—integrating new softwareinto pedagogy as part of an interactive teaching andlearning strategy. Faculty, Researchers, IT members,and Administrators will find this study useful fordigital technology development and faculty training
