Earlier on, it was mentioned that resources, software, and web-based technologies are introduced to post secondary institutional curriculum to facilitate interactive dialogue, allow creativity, and improve learning. However, at a recent annual conference of the professional and organizational development network, these top challenges were identified as regards inserting technology into post secondary curriculum:
- Faculty mistrust technology
- Faculty need examples of effective uses of these technologies since not all are familiar with them
- Loss of control when shifting from faculty-centered to student-centered learning. The faculty may not able to divulge needed lesson to students via these new technologies
- Not a high priority for faculty development of professionals on a campus
- Lack of a culture of openness or awareness to try technology among faculty
- Perception that technology does not offer deep learning, thus no need for it in the school curriculum.
