Abstract

In this paper I identify challenges I have faced as an academic leader working to improve and sustain quality learning and teaching in an information-rich environment. If the possibilities provided through ICT are overestimated in the short term and underestimated in the long term, then considerable expenditure may well be spent on resources that have surface appeal of being innovative but do not add much value to the quality of student learning.
