Just this morning I finished a report for Mr. Davies on the challenges facing the bookstore. We are very much at the early stages of significant paradigm shifts. The question is that as you add these technology changes to the teaching process, how much are you going to impact human behavior in still going to the classroom. This is a difficult question to answer. Improving the websites has been a big issue particularly with the staff in the North Campus divisions.
Faculty members tend to become inspired by the websites.
The question is how to deal with the ones who don't. Some of that is peer pressure or nudging. Part of that is coming up with a review process, at least with the content. The question on the Course Evaluations will be a major factor. Once the websites become part of the culture of the academic personnel process, this too will have an effect.
