Digital Diploma Mills? A Second Look at Information Technology and Higher Education

This two-day conference will be the first major North American conference devoted exclusively to a critical assessment of the use of computer-based instructional technologies in higher education. Panels will focus upon the political economy of the academic high-tech agenda, the actual cost effectiveness and demonstrated pedagogical value of instructional technologies, the consequences of their widespread use for both students and faculty, and the implications for the future of quality higher education.
