Planning for IT Change and Innovation in Higher Education
Mike Zastrocky
10:30 AM - 3:15 PM, February 20-21, 2003

Since the mid 90's, a flood of IT technologies and trends has engulfed enterprises, often impairing their ability to expand their capabilities and contributing, in part, to the current global recession. Looking ahead to 2007, Gartner expects this flood to recede enough to give institutions time to assess, realize and profit from the continuing promise of IT. While budgets will continue to be tight for the next few years, we will explore how best to bring innovation and change into the strategic and tactical planning for Maricopa Community Colleges. During the day we will explore together which technologies ought to be embraced and which might best be put into the closet. We will also look at current higher ed IT trends, new and emerging technologies, and organizational and management issues.

Distributed Learning in Higher Education: Service First
25 October 2002
Ron Yanosky, Michael Zastrocky, Marti Harris
"Higher-education institutions see distributed learning primarily as a student service initiative, and only secondarily as a marketing channel or cost-saving device."

Doug Hurley, Bill Rust

Information Security Officers Needed in Higher Education
09 December 2002
Doug Hurley, Marti Harris, Michael Zastrocky, Ron Yanosky

Time to Assess Business Value of IT in Higher Education
11 December 2002
Marti Harris, Doug Hurley, Ron Yanosky, Michael Zastrocky
