Technology Management. New Directions for Community Colleges, Number 154

Gain a greater understanding of technology management and what it means to the community college campus today. Effective planning, directing, control, and coordination of technological capabilities can shape and help accomplish your institution's strategic and operational objectives. Editor Tod Treat, assistant professor in the Department of Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and contributing authors explore community college technology management from a variety of vantage points. They argue that technology management should be a strategy on par with physical, human and fiscal management. They demonstrate how technology can be used to reach students; how it plays a critical role in institutional research; how it impacts faculty and staff and how it continues to shape broad trends in teaching and learning. This is the 154th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.
