A Systems Approach to a Technology Rich Learning Environment
A technology plan is required for many reasons, one of
which is to document those actions which need to be
taken over an extended period of time. Others are to
set a rational order of events, and to facilitate areas of
individual responsibility. The
development of a technology plan should include
participation from as many members of the organization as
possible, as it is the dialog which takes place during the
process which provides the
real value. The discussions among all members of the
organization offers the opportunity to set priorities, find synergies and provide an
understanding of the commitments all must make to ensure
success.
In
addition to developing a satisfactory end product, a systems
approach to technology offers other advantages,
including:
•
increased recognition of areas of responsibility;
•
increased recognition of student and staff requirements,
and the best means to satisfy these needs;
•
more accurate and relevant product and service specifications;
•
an increased quality level of documentation;
•
lower system failure rates;
•
increased adherence to schedules;
•
minimization of unexpected work efforts;
•
increased levels of team cooperation;
•
improved predictability of cost....and lower total cost, and
•
overall higher probability of program success.
