Abstract
For more than five years, EDUCAUSE's National Learning Infrastructure Initiative (NLII) has pursued its mission to create new collegiate learning environments that would harness the power of information technology (IT) to improve the quality of teaching and learning, contain or reduce costs, and provide greater access to American higher education. While the program succeeded in raising awareness of the power of IT to transform higher education, new issues and challenges associated with technology, teaching, and learning continue to emerge. In response, the NLII has identified four issues as key to the attainment of its mission: (1) intellectual property rights; (2) institutional readiness to enhance academic productivity; (3) faculty support and engagement; and (4) collaboration between advanced IT initiatives.
