The Future Compatible Campus : Planning, Designing, and Implementing Information Technology in the Academy

In order to remain compatible with the demands of the future, institutions of higher education are fundamentally rethinking what they do with technology and why. In this book, educational leaders explain how redesign and new uses of technology lead to greater institutional effectiveness. While the plan for creating a future compatible campus is unique to each institution, The Future Compatible Campus will assist in the development of a framework that focuses information technology planning on supporting an institution’s vision and goals, and translating that plan into action.
