David Noble, York University professor of history, identified four primary agents promoting the contribution of education, namely, corporate software and hardware vendors such as IBM, Silicon Graphics, Prentice-Hall, and Microsoft; corporate training advocates such as Motorola University and Society for Applied Learning Technology; university administrators and "technozealots" who envision computer technology as inherently efficient and enhancing. The new technology provides textbook publishers with new sources of revenue through the marketing of software and online materials. Several textbook publishers have developed their own courseware for faculty to use on-line instruction The courseware is offered free when the company's textbook is adopted. If the institution does net fully subscribe to the courseware, a fee may be assessed for its use. In some cases early faculty adopters may be inclined to act as sales agents for the publisher in the hopes that other faculty will adopt the courseware. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2001 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
