Abstract: Abstract: This paper explores three questions: What do research and best practices identify as better ways to: 1) initiate and lead technological change in an academic unit (department or college); 2) provide technology training, education, and support; and 3) utilize technological innovation as a change agent to transform higher education, realigning it with the new realities of global digital competition and learner-centered education?
