Command, Control, and Curriculum - Kenneth C. Green, Syllabus

....The core infrastructure is in place; the student interest (read expectation) is there. But what seems missing for many faculty is a compelling sense that technology makes a difference in student learning and educational outcomes. Too, given that many students (aged 18-68) may have better IT skills than their professors, there is also the professorial concern about “How do I do this—use this technology stuff—without looking foolish in front of my students?” Ah, it would all be so simple if college presidents and provosts had the power and authority of generals: send the troops (faculty) to training, give them the resources, and set hard deadlines for implementation.
