Reality: Lessons (contd)1998
• Allow time
• Engage faculty in technology decision making and leadership
• Deal with workload early on
• Don’t jam technology down
• Keep current
2000• Don’t let IT dictate the
environment
• Allow time for experimentation, learning and implementation - up to 3 years to fully implement in a course
• Always have a backup plan; technology does not always work
• Connect students to students; create on-line, interactive communities
![Page 24: Technology Adoption: Faculty Perceptions of Administrative Support Innovations 2000 February 27-March 1, 2000 Orlando, Florida Slides on Innovations Conference.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e905503460f94b958b1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reality: Lessons (contd 2)
1998• Focus on learning, not on
technology; bad teaching will create bad technology applications
2000• Focus on the education:
identify learning goals and find technology to help achieve them; “these are art courses, not technological courses”
![Page 25: Technology Adoption: Faculty Perceptions of Administrative Support Innovations 2000 February 27-March 1, 2000 Orlando, Florida Slides on Innovations Conference.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e905503460f94b958b1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Reality: Lessons (contd 3)1998
• Ensure planned and public commitment by the college
• Keep Board informed
2000• Tech courses “struggle to
reproduce the interactions and chemistry of a traditional classroom. I’m concerned that I see signs of burnout in some of our technology innovators - we need to acknowledge and address this issue”
• I have no understanding of the thinking of District.

What’s up, Docs? (contd)
2000
• More technology could be used
• I have had mixed experiences using technology, both on the human and technical levels
• Make (technology deployment) a concerted not sporadic effort; have course design/management in place before mounting a course

What’s up, Docs? (contd 2)
2000
• Dramatically shorten the time to learn and infuse technology into the curriculum
• Temper the rush with quality control
• Plan and implement (not vice versa)
• “Our focus regarding technology adoption is in the physical, not virtual, classroom”
• Technology is better used to supplement rather than to replace traditional instruction
