Innovation, Adoption, and Learning Impact: Creating the Future of IT

Rob Abel

Leadership in IT requires a focus on current technology innovation, adoption, and impact on learning, but most important, leadership in IT requires understanding the alignment of external factors—access, affordability, perceived quality—to the core mission and integrity of the institution.
Social Networking Technologies: A "Poke" for Campus Services

Joanne Berg, Lori Berquam, and Kathy Christoph

Although advances in social networking technologies allow for new and perhaps more efficient means of learning and communicating, they also pose some significant challenges in higher education, especially for those campus professionals who provide student and academic services.
Convergence Is Real

Mike Enyeart, E. Michael Staman,
and Jose J. Valdes Jr.

The future is set for convergence—for the integration of the communications and computing resources and services that seamlessly traverse multiple infrastructures and deliver content to multiple platforms or appliances. Campus IT organizations need to understand the trends in order to structure their services as the future evolves.
