Slide 20: the process research dialog

Slide 21: trends • The growing use of Web 2.0 and social networking — combined with collective intelligence and mass amateur- ization — is gradually but inexorably changing the practice of scholarship. • The way we work, collaborate, and communicate is evolving as boundaries become more fluid and globalization increases. • Access to—and portability of—content is increasing as smaller, more powerful devices are introduced. • The gap between students’ perception of technology and that of faculty continues to widen.

Slide 22: challenges • Significant shifts in scholarship, research, creative expression, and learning have created a need for innovation and leadership at all levels of the academy. • Higher education is facing a growing expectation to deliver services, content and media to mobile and personal devices. • The renewed emphasis on collaborative learning is pushing the educational community to develop new forms of interaction and assessment. • The academy is faced with a need to provide formal instruction in information, visual, and technological literacy as well as in how to create meaningful content with today’s tools.
