Beginning The Third Decade:
From Great Aspirations to Assessment and Accountability

Three decades into the so-called “computer revolution in higher education,” the
campus community confronts a series of continuing questions about our aspirations for, investments in, and the impact of information technology on teaching, learning, instruction, scholarship, and campus administration and management. Ample evidence suggests a recent and real movement in the campus (and public policy) conversations about IT in higher education — a movement from great aspirations (what we hope to do; what we believe technology can do) to accountability and assessment (what is it that technology can really do and what evidence do we have to document the impact of IT on instruction, learning and operations?).

Green’s presentation will offer a “long” view on the issue of technology in academe. It will draw on data from The Campus Computing Project and other sources to describe our current efforts and accomplishments. And it will also focus on some of the current and continuing IT challenges that confront individual faculty, campus IT officers, and senior campus officials.
