Realigning Your Organization to Learning in the Information Age
An International Collaborative Workshop Sponsored by On the Horizon and the University of North Carolina School of Education
July 27-30, 1996 The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh Scotland
Society is witnessing a fundamental transformation to the Information Age. This international workshop, led by Donald Norris and James Morrison, is an opportunity to apply the principles described in Transforming Higher Education: A Vision for Learning in the 21st Century (Dolence and Norris, 1995) to your learning enterprise. This is a hands-on workshop using practical examples and cases studies of transformation in academic programs, facilities, and the academic culture. Workshop format includes a combination of collaboration, workshop activity, and consultation.
The preliminary agenda, which focuses on frameworks for introducing transformation to your campus, includes the following topics:- Creating new academic cultures on campus- Identifying/empowering faculty to be agents of transformation- Involving faculty in the creation of a shared learning vision for the Information Age- Redirecting existing process to achieve transformation--strategic planning, facilities planning and management, program review, assessment and accreditation, development and fund raising- Redirecting Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), Total Quality Management (TQM), and reengineering programs to transformation- Establishing new paradigms for financing Information Age infrastructure- Creating new "units" of learning- Training faculty on the tools of Information Age learning (and getting them to use them)- Changing the production function of learning- Creating investment pools in the face of resource shortages- Building the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure for transformation.
Specific topics will be determined by participants in our discussion on Transformation List, a list open only to workshop participants, prior to the workshop. The final agenda will be posted to the list a week before the workshop and distributed at workshop registration in Edinburgh.
