From 1998 - Most Colleges Lack Technology Planning - Scott W. Wright, Diversity
THIS ARTICLE FROM THE 1998 ARCHIVES -- Nearly two decades after microcomputers debuted on college campuses, most schools still lack comprehensive, cohesive plans to reap technology's many benefits. That conclusion, from a new survey released here in late October, could serve as a jarring wake-up call to top college administrators and technology gurus, experts say. The survey findings, based on information from 571 schools, provide an annual update to a nearly decade-old project that documents technology's impact on America's colleges and universities... the survey found that fewer than half of the institutions had an IT strategic plan. Only 40 percent have an IT curriculum plan. Only 40 percent have an instructional plan for using the Internet. Less than 33 percent plan to use the Internet for their distance learning efforts. Only 25 percent have a policy on who owns Web-based intructional resources designed by faculty.
