Investing in Information Technology Pays Big Dividends

By: Diana Laurillard

Creative use of technology can enhance the productivity of students and faculty.

From Volume 27 Number 4 | Summer 1999

Abstract: We tend to ecpect the new technology to promote economic prosperty and a more democratic society. However, there is no evidence that it improves the economic productivity of society as a whole, and neither is it socially inclusive. Higher eduction cannot afford to be a s profligate with its resource as the industrial world has proved to be, but it can support progress. It has the twin responsiblities of (1) achieving the potential of learning technologies for the way it conducts its core business and (2) playing iots role as the engine of a learning society.

Benchmarking: A New Approach to Space Planning

By: Ira Fink

An alternative approach uses space benchmarking and faculty head count for predicting space needs.

From Volume 27 Number 3 | Spring 1999

Abstract: Examines traditional assumptions underlying space management and proposes an alternative approach to projecting space use. Specifically, the author recommends making projections based on space per faculty rather than space per student, and then comparing these projections with the space allocation at peer institutions. Problems with traditional methods of space allocation are discussed, as is the process of implementing this approach and identifying comparable institutions.
