Game Changers Game Changers: Education and Information Technologies
Diana G. Oblinger, Editor
EDUCAUSE, May 2012; PDF and HTML formats

New models and new technologies allow us to rethink many of the premises of education—location and time, credits and credentials, knowledge creation and sharing. Institutions are finding new ways of achieving higher education’s mission without being crippled by constraints or overpowered by greater expectations. Game Changers, a collection of chapters and case studies contributed by college and university presidents, provosts, faculty, and other stakeholders, explores these new models.

EDUCAUSE President and CEO Diana Oblinger talks about Game Changers, published with generous support of Ellucian.

Educating the Net Generation
Diana G. Oblinger and James L. Oblinger, Editors
EDUCAUSE; Published: February 2005; HTML and PDF formats

The Net Generation has grown up with information technology. The aptitudes, attitudes, expectations, and learning styles of Net Gen students reflect the environment in which they were raised-one that is decidedly different from that which existed when faculty and administrators were growing up. This collection explores the Net Gen and the implications for institutions in areas such as teaching, service, learning space design, faculty development, and curriculum. Contributions by educators and students are included.
