Virtualization of Universities: Digital Media and the Organization of Higher Education Institutions (Innovation, Technology, and Knowledge Management) by Thomas PfefferEnglish | 2011-12-08 | ISBN: 1461420644 | PDF | 200 pages | 3 MB
The purpose of this volume is to shape conceptual tools to understand the impact of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the organization of universities.
Traditional research-based universities, the most typical representatives of the higher education system, find themselves challenged by the speed and the wide range of technical innovations, but also by a vast array of implicit assumptions and explicit promises associated with the distribution of digital media.
