Academic Synergy in the Age of Technology--A New Instructional Paradigm
Ma, Yulong; Runyon, L. R.
Journal of Education for Business, v79 n6 p367-371 Jul-Aug 2004
In this article, the authors show how effective use of new technology can increase academic productivity and enhance educational quality in higher learning institutions. The authors sought to develop an instructional model that integrates information technology with faculty resources to enhance teaching and learning in the academic environment. They propose the establishment of an Internet-based, discipline-oriented new instructional paradigm. Unlike the traditional mode of teaching, in which faculty members essentially work as individuals, the new model creates significant academic synergy, allowing instructors to share and combine instructional resources and expertise. The model further helps coordinate faculty teaching and improves curriculum design. (Contains 5 figures.)
