Digital Faculty: Professors and Technology, 2012 | Inside Higher Ed

Digital Faculty: Professors and Technology, 2012 | Inside Higher Ed | Higher Education in the Future | Scoop.it

Professors occasionally get lampooned as luddites responsible for the famously slow pace of change in higher education. But in truth the majority of professors are excited about various technology-driven trends in higher education, including the growth of e-textbooks and digital library collections, the increased use of data monitoring as a way to track student performance along with their own, and the increasingly popular idea of “flipping the classroom.”

 

However, other technology trends are more likely to make professors break into a clammy sweat.
