Kenneth C. Green is the founder/director of The Campus Computing Project, the largest continuing study of the role of information technology in US colleges and universities. Dr. Green is also a visiting scholar at The Claremont Graduate University. He is the author/co-author or editor of a dozen books and published research reports and some three dozen articles. Additionally, he is an invited speaker at some two dozen academic conferences and professional meetings each year.
Helping faculty integrate information technology into instruction is a top concern of colleges, according to the most recent Campus Computing Survey.
Not only is IT integration a top concern, but every year its importance increases. "Students today come to college not just to learn about computers, but to learn with them," says Green. Green believes that peers have more influence on faculty than early adopters do when it comes to acceptance of technology. Good IT infrastructure, Green says, is the key to encouraging innovation and integration.
Designed especially for faculty, administrators and IT staff, this event will address questions such as:
- What kinds of support must be provided for faculty to integrate IT into their teaching?
- How can faculty use IT to support the education process, not dictate it?
- How much influence do early adopters have on other faculty members?
- Is it worth the price? How do we assess the benefits relative to the costs?
