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.
