Strategic Planning To Harness Educational Technology Across a University: The Learning Infrastructure Project
Edward W. Tawyea
Abstract: The Learning Infrastructure Project of Thomas Jefferson is an institution-wide planning process to create new learning environments that harness the power of information technology and instructional design principles to improve the quality of teaching and learning, contain or reduce rising costs, and provide greater access to the resources of TJU for collaborative research. The project will assist the university in fulfilling its mission to "provide excellent educational programs and experiences for future health care professionals to contribute substantially to the research, development and introduction of improved methods of health."
This eighteen-month long process will result in a set of recommendations to the Administration of the University on the above-mentioned goal and will provide a real, working demonstration model of distance learning.
The elements of this project include: A market analysis of over 2,200 alumni of the university regarding access to university resources of educational technology for all aspects of education, from undergraduate to continuing. The production of a working, distance education module in the areas of pharmacology and microbiology. The production of a video of the the project and report on the conclusions/recommendations of those involved.
