Web-Enhancing the University in Departmental Blocks

The new online journal Innovate has a thought-provoking piece (registration required) on what what can be accomplished when universities roll out web-enhanced programs on a departmental rather than course-by-course basis. What I take away from it is that departments that have committed to cultivating a cohesive approach to instructional philosophy and policies will find that adopting a web-enhanced approach facilitates the change. I’m not sure that this works so well without that prior commitment which, unfortunately, is pretty unusual.
