As distance education, distributed learning, virtual campuses, and digital libraries become more important for students, academic institutions can no longer rely on traditional methods to survive and prosper. In this landmark collection of essays, seven highly respected institutional, association, and financial leaders examine the challenges facing today's colleges and universities. They explore a number of critical issues, including how to deal with for-profit competition, how to build a powerful technological infrastructure, how to create administrative structures that reward and support technological innovation, and how to secure funding for such transformations.
Web Portals and Higher Education
As educational communities expand and diversify, colleges and universities are seeking ways to better serve the unique needs of all their constituents. Web portal technology allows educational institutions to integrate all the information and services used by their communities, and to present these in a seamless, self-service web environment that offers a unique experience to every user. Written by Richard N. Katz and a stellar panel of experts in the field of educational technology in higher education, "Web Portals and Higher Education" examines a full range of issues that any educational institution must consider before beginning to develop a portal, including business challenges, organizational implications, policy choices, and technology concerns. A college or university may choose to license uPortal-a collaboratively developed technical framework for assembling and organizing college and university content and service channels-or it may decide either to license a commercial portal or to develop an in-house solution and gain full control over the portal's design and maintenance. This resource will help guide an institution's decision about which approach is most appropriate for their situation.
