The Academic Culture and the IT Culture: Their Effect on Teaching and Scholarship - Edward L. Ayers, Educause Review
As someone who believes that the rapid development of information technologies is perhaps the most significant long-term social change of our time, and as someone who believes that the academy is among the most important of human institutions, I think we simply must find ways to get the two cultures to work together more effectively. The academic culture has already changed radically before. It has adapted to a vastly larger and more diverse student body, to entirely new disciplines, and to a reliance on philanthropy and research dollars. It can change again, to a time when the ancient joys of face-to-face education can be made even greater, through the pioneering work being done within the IT culture and through the wise integration of new technological tools.
