Managing Technological Change
A book by Tony Bates? What is this site? I have just joined…
I figured it out. I can get a summary of the book online for $9 – or buy it at amazon for $34.95 plus postage. Could be worth it. There is some value added in having a summary! The summary of the summary is free and may have the most value of all! – Indeed there is some good stuff here:
- Central Technology Support Units for Universities
- “The use of information technologies needs to be coordinated, and policy and investment needs to be planned at the most senior institutional management level.”
- Strategic Visioning of Technology-Based Teaching
- “The development of a detailed and clear vision for teaching and learning is essential.”
- Visioning Technology-Based Teaching at the Department Level
- “Although visioning can take place at various levels in the organization, the best place to start is at the department teaching level.”
- Planning for Technology-Based Teaching at the Institutional Level
- “A plan will only be as good as the vision that drives it.”
- Classroom vs. Technology-Based Teaching
- “Good technology does not save bad teaching.”
