Changing Institutional Culture (Group 18) Team Members: Sam Attoh, Betsy Boze, Chris Cavanaugh, John Cavanaugh, Gersham Nelson, Greg Paveza, Dean Van Galen • Need to motivate not only faculty, but support services • Use it in personal lives, but not in our professional lives (ATMs, etc.)
Changing Institutional Culture • Identify faculty champions and support them (not let them get brought down by structure) • Offer incentives to those who develop, are innovators, etc. • These are often junior faculty, so PT Committees, assessment and evaluation must take this into account
Changing Institutional Culture • Should consider the broader ramifications, not technology for technology’s sake • We direct technology, not it us. • It is a tool, nothing more • Forced dependence on electronics, so if something cataclysmic occurs and cuts off of from electronics, then what? (hurricane, etc.)
Changing Institutional Culture • Competency-based assessment not sufficient – creating technicians not critical thinkers. • Does competency include cross training and ethics • Competency is static and time-specific and the world is changing rapidly.
Changing Institutional Culture • Change in culture of service – can we change the culture or do we simply decide if we are going to embrace a change in culture? (McDonalds, self-service gasoline) • Students will drive technology – insist on technology integration (Blackboard, Web-based registration, flexible scheduling)
Changing Institutional Culture • Star Wars / Guttenberg • Fear of losing control -- of data, information, power, and as a last resort, security. • Cannot lose sight of the essence of teaching and learning. • Don’t put the cart before the horse.
