Keeping
the Touch in Technology 2003:
The
Knowledge
Enterprise
:
New Century Learning
Innovations in the teaching and learning process are
occurring more rapidly than at any other time in higher education. At
its sixth annual meeting, the Teaching in
Higher Education (THE) Forum focused on the dissemination of major
pedagogical initiatives in the knowledge enterprise of the 21st century.
These groundbreaking explorations and initiatives have tremendous potential to impact teaching
and learning everywhere. As the
horizons of learning expand, we, as faculty members, find ourselves more and
more engaged in expanding the accessibility of intellectual capital.
We are contributing to,
and learning from, the wealth of knowledge available at the touch of a
fingertip. We are, in essence,
knowledge entrepreneurs, creating new, rich repositories of knowledge and
information for students and other faculty. In
place of the traditional proprietary orientation of academia, sharing has
become the lifeblood of this new knowledge enterprise. This
sharing conference has been the perfect vehicle for presenting and learning
about the newest dimensions of knowledge delivery. We
will continue to showcase important developments in the use of technology to
enhance teaching and learning, professional development, and assessment, all of
which fit very well with this year's theme.
We hope that the articles collected in this first
E-Proceedings edition will reflect the electric atmosphere created by our
fellow knowledge entrepreneurs as they presented advances made and lessons
learned from exploring the frontiers of teaching and learning. We
invite you to browse the site and learn from your colleagues. If
