Description
This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research provides practical insight and guidance to campus leaders who are attempting to accelerate the transformation of their campuses to meet the challenges and opportunities of the Knowledge Age. This insight is drawn from case studies and vignettes from nearly twenty campuses that have succeeded in leveraging the forces of transformation on their campuses. They have achieved this leverage through multifaceted change initiatives that involve a collection of actions: (1) developing vision and strategy for the Knowledge Age, (2) conducting campuswide dialogue on change, (3) dramatically enhancing information technology infrastructure and skills, (4) redirecting existing institutional processes, (5) crafting new learning processes and products, and (6) changing the campus culture. The volume concludes with a presentation of the five families of basic competencies necessary for particular academic programs or campuses to succeed in the twenty-first century: (1) planning and change processes operating at Knowledge Age standards of timeliness, customization, and flexibility; (2) advanced IT infrastructure and skills in its use; (3) a new generation of tools for learning, interactivity, certification of mastery, and personal productivity; (4) new financial paradigms; and (5) supercharged strategic alliances. This is the 94th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.
