Chief academic officers must effectively model practices and clearly articulate the expectations of the professoriate as both relate to information fluency. Moreover, faculty must have support to integrate technology into instruction, and they must undergo effective professional development and training programs that emphasize their roles as learners. Lastly, students must have supportive faculty who involve them in the learning process as much as possible.
Again, to do less ensures that our students will be ill prepared to participate in the 21st century and beyond, an unacceptable student-learning outcome.
