Value on Investment in Higher Education is an ECAR Research Bulletin dsecribing how the principles and practices of "value on investment" can be applied in higher education. It suggests how VOI can be used to 1) set stretch goals for investments in ICT, 2) focus the reinvention of all of the academic/administrative processes on campus, and 3) guide the development of comporehensive, five-year strategies for dealing with “Tough Times, Big Choices.”

Tough Times, Big Choices: Getting Value Out of Technology
The current financial crisis in higher education demands aggressive leadership, thoughtful strategies, and new sets of solutions. To achieve these ends, institutions must utilize technology effectively, even transformatively. Trustees, institutional presidents, and campus leadership teams must all acquire and demonstrate new perspectives and capabilities to deal with these new times. A key competency will be getting full value from investment in and deployment of information technology.

An Expeditionary Approach to e-Knowledge
Convergence of work and learning has been talked about for at least a decade. In parallel, the so-called “digital revolution” has enabled innovation and transformation in all settings within higher education: teaching, learning, research, support services and administration. Transformations include a complex mix of technical, organisational and cultural drivers, particularly where knowledge acquisition and its transfer and management are concerned. This paper uses the concept of “e-knowledge” to describe the rich potential at the nexus of organizational transformation stimulated by leading practices in e-learning and knowledge management. It is recognised that such terminology may be controversial given the profusion of new and short-shelf-life terminology associated with the ongoing digital revolution. With this in mind, the paper also discusses conventionally validated practices that can be applied to the challenges of new frontiers such as grid computing where technology is a powerful enabler. In short, we argue that these new frontiers demand an expeditionary approach. Such an approach explicitly recognises non-technological enablers, among them trust. A range of models are introduced that frame this central argument.
