Outcomes
As indicated in Figure 1, the Monash University Educational Technology 
Framework (2007) includes a series of recommendations with respect to the 
governance, policy and practice in the use of educational technology to support 
the learning and teaching environment. These are not discussed in detail here, as 
they are peculiar to the Monash context. However, it is worth mentioning that 
the first recommendation ensures that educational technology governance is 
firmly placed within the education portfolio. 
Given the time, effort and extent of collaboration in the development of the 
Framework, it is perhaps not surprising that it passed quite quickly and smoothly 
through the required committee structures at the University. Further, the 
attention that the creation of the Framework has brought to the proper 
application of educational technology has been at least partly responsible for 
increased resources being made available to support its recommendations. 
Priority areas, such as the development of technologically supported learning 
spaces, the use of online collaborative tools and the development of e-portfolios 
have all received strategic initiative funding for at least the next year. 
Conclusion 
This chapter has provided an overview of the challenges currently facing 
educational institutions, particularly universities, with respect to both learners 
and the array of new and emerging technologies confronting tertiary educators. 
In addressing these challenges, the perspective taken has been an institutional 
one, illustrating how universities can act strategically to both encourage 
innovation and, at the same time, ensure that the technological underpinnings of 
the learning and teaching environment are stable and supportive. A particular 
example, Monash University, has been used to show how the development of 
strategic planning and documentation can guide the use of educational 
technology. At Monash, the Educational Technology Framework (2007) has 
been instrumental in ensuring that the three key aspects of governance, policy 
and process with respect to educational technology are properly and usefully 
addressed.
