Information technology is cutting a path through nearly every sector of our society and economy. In particular, information technologies are making it possible for colleges and universities to deliver their missions in new and exciting ways. In their most extreme form, these technologies are making it possible to re-think core assumptions about how, where, and when instruction can occur. Many of these changes are transforming the cost structure of post-secondary instruction and are attracting new entrants to the business of higher education. New, and in many cases, proprietary providers of college and university instruction are no longer tied to traditional values and practices. They are presenting new opportunities for learners and new challenges for traditional colleges and universities. As vice president of EDUCAUSE, Richard Katz is largely
responsible for developing and delivering the association’s educational program. Prior to joining the association in 1996, Katz held a variety
of management and executive positions at the University of California (UC). While at
UC, Katz worked as the executive director of business
planning and was responsible for the nine campus design and implementation the school system’s strategic management
initiatives. Also while at UC, he won the Gurevich Prize, the Olsten Award, and was
the second recipient of UC’s Award for Innovative Management and Leadership.
Along with his accomplishments, Katz is also the author, co-author or editor of more than 20 books, monographs, and articles on a
variety of management and technology topics.

Over the past 15 years, some faculty have eagerly embraced IT, and others have struggled with it. Many faculty engage in an almost daily battle to find their way between what some suggest are academe’s “high touch” traditions and its online, “high tech” future. They are concerned about information technology impacts and benefits, as well as, staying current with both the content and the technologies that affect their disciplines. Green’s presentation will focus on the individual and institutional factors that aid or impede the migration of information technology into the classroom, syllabus, and learning experience. Kenneth C. Green is the founder/ director of The Campus Computing Project, the largest continuing study of the role of information technology in U.S. colleges and universities. He is also a visiting scholar at The Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California, and serves as a member of the Education Section Board of the Software Information and Industry Association (SIIA). He worked as a senior research associate and later director of The James Irvine Foundation Center for Scholarly Technology at the University of Southern California. Prior to USC, Green served for seven years as the associate director and operating officer of UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute and the American Council on Education/UCLA Cooperative Institutional Research Program. His accomplishments include work as the author/ co-author or editor of a dozen books, published research reports and three dozen articles. Green’s work also includes consulting activities that focus on information technology, campus planning and policy issues, and higher education marketing. |
