During the past year, as heretofore, it has
been the policy of the department to serve,
as far as possible, all sections of the
Province, particularly the more remote urban
centres. Since funds for the work have been
limited, an effort has been made to explore
new media for the equalization of the
educational opportunities offered by the
University. In this connection emphasis has
been placed upon the use and development of
the radio and the directed study-group. In
all phases of the work the main effort has
been directed towards providing an
educational programme with a constructive
purpose and with some degree of continuity.

Technology and education future scenarios
What? How?
 Keep technology and
educational purpose tightly
linked
 Deployment focuses on:
 Pedagogy
 Expanding access to high
quality learning experiences
 Developing ways to
capture information that
will enable us to become
even better teachers.
 Invest in technology
implementation that supports
students as knowledge creators
& analysts and mobile lifelong
learners
 Improve system usability,
streamline data exchange, &
facilitate content mobility
 Build strong and ongoing
relationships with our students.
 Enable faculty to spend more
time supporting student
learning, not administering
courses.

2008 Horizon Report: Critical Challenges
 Trends point to need for innovation and leadership
at all levels of the academy.
 Higher education service expectations increasing:
especially content delivery to mobile/personal
devices
 Collaboration pedagogies pushing need for new
forms of interaction and assessment.
 Need to provide formal instruction in new forms of
visual, and technological literacy and content
creation with today’s tools.

Closing thoughts: Making IT Work
 Listen….
 Faculty/peer acceptance (&
curriculum fit)
 Institutional support
structures have to evolve
 Changes in technology
needed (finer grained
separation of identity from
application data)
 New forms of scholarship
evolving
 Students as partners
 Vendors(?) as partners
