This investment has given our educational programs a sound footing in basic and intermediate computing. It has allowed universal access to the New School network and the Internet for faculty and administration and all full-time students. With this basic infrastructure in place, the University embarks in fall 1996 on Phase II of the Information Technology Master Plan. The success of the University s mission will be dependent upon the faculty's ability to use and integrate technology into the curriculum. That dependency will transcend any one division s ability to fund and staff its needs.
Some schools find themselves with many technology-savvy faculty and a sophisticated curriculum.
Others are further down on the technology absorption curve. But all will need to adopt and assimilate technology. That need will lead to both capital and human investments. The consequences will be far reaching. The course as the unit of education will lose its boundaries of time and space.
