The Technology Source for Higher Education
May 1998
In this issue
http://www.microsoft.com/education/hed/
Our Vision article for May comes to us in the form of an interview between
James Morrison and James C. Spohrer, who heads up the Educational Object
Economy (EOE) program. This endeavor is designed to make the acquisition and
use of technology as a learning and teaching tool easier for all involved.

This month's Commentary brings yet another installment in our continuing
discussion concerning the vices and virtues of technology in the classroom.

Case Studies covers an issue that is increasingly more topical in higher
education, as evidenced by the recent announcement at the University of
North Carolina-Chapel Hill of a new campus-wide requirement that all
incoming freshmen own laptop computers by Fall of 2000. Ray Brown writes
about a number of institutions that have become "Notebook Universities," and
discusses the pros and cons of the various implementation strategies
employed by these schools.

Frank Tait writes our Featured Product article this month, focusing on the
use of "object technology" software like SCT Workflow.

The Site of the Month for April is the Southern Association for
Institutional Research (SAIR) homepage. With a strong focus on issues of
institutional planning and operations, this site houses a number of outside
links and original materials for those involved with the organizational
study of higher education. While the site deals specifically with groups and
institutions in the South, there is a sizable amount of material useful to
generalists within this field as well.
