| College and
university professors
are using technology to support traditional expectations -- in
teaching,
research and service. Electronic search tools and the Internet are
commonly
used to conduct research. Electronic mail and listservs are frequently
used tools for communication. But what about technology for teaching?
How
is it being used to support new ways to learn?
Research tells us
that teachers
teach the way they were taught. Even when teachers possses technology
skills,
many continue to employ the same methods with which they were taught.
Today,
expectations for university faculty are shifting -- professors are
expected
to model effective integration of technology in their higher education
courses.
What's driving these
expectations?
