A deeper understanding and more effective support for lifelong learning will contribute to the transformation that must occur in the way our society works and learns. Investments in information technology have so far produced disappointing results because both industry and education tend to use these technologies simply as support mechanisms for existing practices rather than as vehicles to promote fundamentally new ways to create artifacts and construct knowledge. A major finding in current business reengineering efforts is that the use of information technology has had disappointing results compared to the investments made in it. Although a detailed causal analysis of these findings is difficult to obtain, it is generally agreed that a major reason is the fact that information technologies have been used to mechanize old ways of doing business rather than fundamentally rethinking the underlying work processes. [italics added for emphasis]

We claim that a similar argument can be made for current uses of technology in education: it is used as an add-on to existing practices rather than a catalyst for fundamentally rethinking what education should be about in the next century. As an example, the "innovation" of making transparencies available on the World Wide Web rather than distributing paper copies of them in class takes advantage of the Web as an electronic information medium, but contributes little in the way of introducing new epistemologies. Old frameworks of education do not get changed by using technology in a "gift-wrapping" approach where traditional instructionist, fixed-curriculum, decontextualized, rote learning is "wrapped" with new technologies such as computer-based training, intelligent tutoring systems, multimedia presentations, or the World Wide Web. We need computational environments to support "new" frameworks for education such as lifelong learning, the integration of working and learning, learning on demand, authentic problems, self-directed learning, information contextualized to the task at hand, (intrinsic) motivation, collaborative learning, and organizational learning.

Abstract:

Recent years have witnessed a variety of efforts to reengineer higher education into closer alignment with market principles and management approaches drawn from business. However, critical debates on these efforts typically fail to discern a number of significant issues. Many such reengineering efforts involve an intermingling of three distinctively different organizational paradigms: a professional paradigm characteristic of traditional higher education organization, a bureaucratic machine paradigm representative of traditional business organization, and an innovative or "adhocratic" paradigm defended by its proponents as a timely alternative to traditional bureaucratic organization. This intermingling typically is carried out in a fashion oblivious to the nuances of organizational design and with little or no attention to the conflicts likely to result. Continued neglect of these issues, however, will condemn proponents of higher education adhocracy to problems in the future.
