Faculty Technological Literacy Central to Avoiding Implementation Roadblocks - Katie Blot, Blackboard on Evolllution

Implementation roadblocks are a major hurdle in any new partnership, but creating faculty efficiency with technological tools can help to overcome them. The old days of education technology service partnerships, where acquisition and implementation challenges were the biggest hurdle to what would be deemed ‘success,’ are just that — days of old. The new imperative is to improve learner outcomes through faculty efficiency with education technology. To be sure, implementation roadblocks will inevitably arise in any technology-related project. But it is 2014, and technology departments have come a long way since the early days of online education. Implementation challenges aren’t the millstone they used to be and many of the kinks have been worked out. http://www.evolllution.com/institutional_operations/facultys-technological-literacy-central-avoiding-implementation-roadblocks/
