Jorstad Featured in Prominent Publication
UW La Crosse LTDC representative, Jim Jorstad’s article Educational Technology in a Challenging Economy — An Inside View was published in the prominent educational technology publication Educause Quarterly. Key points from the article are:
- Technology in higher education can be a double-edged sword, with the potential for transforming learning but sometimes at an unexpectedly high cost.
- Different perspectives from technology practitioners and stakeholders help us better understand our pursuit of technologies that can transform teaching and learning from passive to active engagement.
- Adopting targeted technology strategies, to explain or change perceptions through effective communications with constituencies, can help institutions not just grow, but thrive.
