EDUCAUSE Review Magazine, Volume 43, Number 6, November/December 2008"Focusing" featuresTo support uncommon thinking for the common good of information technology and higher education, EDUCAUSE has identified four focus areas: Teaching and Learning; Managing the Enterprise; E-Research and E-Scholarship; and the Evolving Role of IT and Leadership. Teaching and Learning Moving Teaching and Learning with Technologyfrom Adoption to Transformation Managing the Enterprise Painting the Clouds E-Research and E-Scholarship Supporting the “Scholarship” in E-Scholarship Evolving Role of IT and Leadership Managing Risk and Exploiting Opportunity Teaching and LearningWith digital networks and social media, stories today are open-ended, branching, hyperlinked, cross-media, participatory, exploratory, and unpredictable. Web 2.0 storytelling picks up these new types of stories and runs with them, accelerating the pace of creation and participation while revealing new directions for narratives to flow. Managing the EnterpriseThe networked information economy and society present a new social, technical, and economic environment within which the university functions. To understand the new challenges and opportunities this environment presents, we need a usable characterization of the core new characteristics of both the environment and the university as a system and how those characteristics interact to define today's challenges. Reprinted from Richard N. Katz, ed., The Tower and the Cloud (Boulder, Colo.: EDUCAUSE, 2008). E-Research and E-ScholarshipHow does the campus cyberinfrastructure challenge differ from the national cyberinfrastructure challenge, recognizing that investments in these areas should be not just complementary but mutually reinforcing? This excerpt from the NSF task force report highlights the new learning and educational approaches offered by cyberlearning and the possibility of redistributing learning experiences over time and space, beyond the classroom and throughout a lifetime. Evolving Role of IT and LeadershipFocusing on “glimpses of the future,” the 2008 EDUCAUSE Evolving Technologies Committee looked at five IT technologies and trends of importance to higher education: green enterprise computing; location-aware computing; virtual worlds; business process management; and regulatory compliance. departmentswww Leadership E-Content PodcastIT New Horizons policy@edu Viewpoints Homepage Advertisers in This IssueAcademic Management Systems, www.academicmanagement.com Bookmark/Search this page with:
