Learning Management Systems in Higher Education: A Faculty Perspective (original) (raw)

The pace of technological change exerts powerful influences on dynamic systems in higher education, including the development of administrative policy, allocation and deployment of scarce financial resources, faculty-driven course content and delivery, and student demand and use of computer networks, among others. Nowhere else is such acute pressure felt than the core roles of higher education, in teaching and learning. In this case study, we examine forces that drive the evolution of some education technology at a large, urban university, and resulting manifest challenges and opportunities. We find that limited resources are only one of a number of factors that constrain responses to technological change, and that the speed of change itself may be a more important barrier to faster progress.
