With quotes from Carol Twigg about the role of administrators in helping a campus use technology to move forward

Loved this quote, "...A GREAT lecture can be amazing and I try in my keynotes to deliver a great lecture. But in my classes it's a different story! I rarely lecture at all anymore. I have those students for 45 hours a term - I don't need to cram anything into an hour. And I know that nobody can create 45 amazing lectures per term. In fact, after polling about 20,000 teachers and professors, the average number of great lecturers on campus seems to be 3 and the total number of great lectures any one person delivers seems to be 3."

Competency Based Education, Direct Assessment and evolving accreditation questions....It's not when but how quickly will the DOE and accrediting agencies shift their position on seat time to competency based curriculum for purposes of both accreditation and federal aid...

Another valuable question is "What else do you want me to know about you?" Many times the answers will require that you take some kind of action. Some students might tell you that they have Attention Deficit Disorder or a different learning disability, that they need to see written notes to understand material, or that they need extra time during exams. You will have to determine how to respond to the answers they provide, but it often is far more useful to have the information at the start of class so that you can work with each student appropriately.

"...this is a time-management strategy for overwhelmed faculty. "I'm swamped for time so let me just blast this all out at once. Phew. I've done my part; now the rest is up to them." In struggling to help manage our own information overload, we pass the overload along to our students. I don't believe it's our intention to pass the buck, but you know what they say about good intentions.
