Deadline February 22, 2002

The second annual EDUCAUSE current issues survey finds administrative systems challenges have escalated, the IT staffing crisis continues, online education is steady state, and security management has the potential to explode (Educause Quarterly, 2001, p. 4). The mass market of education, along with demands of learners, employers, and society, is transforming traditional education to the new educational system with many challenges.

• Educational opportunity is not just local but also national and global.
• Re-engineering in business operations and instructional deliveries is essential.
• Digital communication, collaboration, and digital resources for cognition must support on-campus and off-campus educational programs.
• Partnership is key for the success of educational programs and development of quality teaching/learning resources.

OHECC 2002 invites you to share with us your creative ideas, programs, experiences, and services that took advantage of technology and dealt with above challenges.

Suggestions would include, but not be limited to:

1. E-business systems
2. Support and training models
3. Technology-based teaching and learning models
4. Emerging technologies and practices
5. Partnerships and collaboration (K-12, business, government agencies, other institutions)
6. Infrastructure (networking, wireless, security)
7. IT management and supervision
8. Other important issues in higher education
