Policy Universities need to have a clearly articulated vision of the changes to teaching and learning that technology brings. This vision should have ownership and commitment from all levels of management. Vision needs to be supported by policy and institutional culture. Equity of access to IT for all students needs to be considered, e.g. by safety-net policies. Institutional Culture For CFL adoption to become widespread, staff must be rewarded, whether tangibly or intangibly, for their efforts.
Motivation is an essential driver to innovation.
Appropriate criteria for teaching performance need to be developed in order to provide an effective incentive for academic staff to adopt CFL materials and practices. These should apply to promotion and selection processes. Schemes to recognise and reward technical staff, e.g. through qualification routes, are needed in order to retain expertise. Infrastructure and Support Adoption of CFL needs to be underpinned by funding mechanisms, infrastructure, staff development and technical support. All of these are expensive.
