Organizational design strategies in higher educational institutions in accordance with electronic learning and teaching environment mr.sc. Mislav Balković, and Danijel Kučak, dipl.ing. University College for Applied Computer Engineering In Future 2009,

1. Introduction Advance in technological development is for many institutions just insignificant external factor that in a way influences their internal organizational change. There are also institutions that are directed towards market and business excellence. For them technology can become strong internal factor that models many key organizational segments such as; - Employees and a way they are working - Location and geographical accessibility of resources - Product (curriculum) - Tasks and tools used to solve them

2. Influence of technology on learning Opposed to teaching that still dominates in most of higher educational institutions, that was in methodological structure imposed in the 19th century by Thomas Huxly and Von Humbolt, new approaches introduced significant comparative advantages as follows; Increase in learning quality 1.Learning outcomes are positively influenced by the opportunity to use e-learning content and to reuse stored teacher’s presentations from the repository of audio/video, 2.Quality of teaching process is increased by interactive video simulations, web conference infrastructure, etc.

2. Influence of technology on learning Increase in training availability 1.easily available training for distant and LLL students 2.e-learning courseware, on demand audio/video materials, on-line interactive simulations. Increase in cost effectiveness of education 1.investments in electronic training infrastructure and content are significant, 2.costs are increased compared to classical training, 3.it can increase income due to increases in number of international and distant students, 4.savings in not arranging more classrooms and trainers, 5.possibility to reuse already prepared e-materials by inferior students

3. Present organizational structures, situation and problems Organizational structures in higher education 1.Organizational structure and governance model in most of the higher educational institutions hasn’t changed for centuries, 2.is almost completely inadequate not only to impose new technologies in teaching but also to underrun any significant enough change 3.it can best be described as hybrid hierarchical organization common to old industrial organizations like one imposed in 19 th century by Henry Ford 4. Work division, Hierarchical governance model, Organizational units = business functions, Standardization, bureaucracy and Economy of scale.

3. Present organizational structures, situation and problems Organizational structures in higher education 5.Method that is used to develop teaching process and train new teachers is similar as in preindustrial, agricultural society, 6.teacher is in charge of whole collegium from the design of curriculum up to teaching materials and delivery, 7.in universities Rector is formally in charge but in most cases he or she only controls overall university’s budget and some development projects 8.their decisions have to be supported by academic council of each faculty 9.any decision and specially one to make significant change is either blocked or fades out

3. Present organizational structures, situation and problems Organizational structures in higher education 10. organizational culture in academic institutions as well as value system is specific, 11. academic independence models teacher’s mindset 12. many of the them finds themselves being independent of any but scientific obligations, 13. teaching for some of them poses burden since their career path and promotions is far less influenced by teaching quality than by number and quality of scientific work they publish

3. Present organizational structures, situation and problems In such culture, resistance to change and new technology introduction is to be expected. Being independent and being empowered to influence all strategic institutional decisions through academic council gives solid grounds to support status quo.

3. Present organizational structures, situation and problems Present situation Laissez-faire approach dominates as most commonly found model of introducing electronic teaching environment when e-content is concerned, computer and networking infrastructure that is mostly used for institution’s business functions (collaboration, document sharing…) are much more developed, status is formally supported by not having vision and strategic development plan on the institutions level that recognizes need to change and modernize teaching process,

3. Present organizational structures, situation and problems Present situation Laissez-faire approach increases expenses with little or no results at all, Most of the projects, even if successful, are not promoted and there is no dissemination of knowledge gathered during the project on the institution level, poor quality of produced content since one is build by amateurs (teachers and/or students not trained as content developers) and therefore in most cases poorly accepted by students,

4. Proposed solutions To start changes governance has to: 1. Share a vision of new era in teaching and learning primarily to the teachers, 2. Prepare vision statement on the level of each department, 3. Prepare strategic development plan for the institution, At the point when strategic development plan is in place changes are much easier to execute because: - teachers and other staff is more sensible to change and, - decisions that are in line with the plan are no longer to be approved by academic council

4. Proposed solutions Proposed changes in organizational model: 1. higher educational institutions have to outgrow to modern post industrial model of matrix organization, 2. High level of specialization and professionalism for key business process should be introduced, 3. Introduction of project management approach. That way each significant enough expense will be observed as a project.

4. Proposed solutions Proposed change in governance structure: It is important to appoint person that will be in charge of implementation of technological support to teaching and learning to as high position in governance structure as possible. That person will act as project sponsor for most of the development projects. Also, it is recommended to form advisory council for technological support of teaching.

4. Proposed solutions Proposed change in organization’s culture: To change culture which partly neglects or at least does not promote quality of teaching, institutions have to change priorities and promote as desirable attitude and manners development and excellence in teaching and learning, It has to be done by adequate scoring of such activities in proceedings of advancement and reappointment of teachers.

4. Proposed solutions Proposed change in funding: In order to propose funding strategy that will be in favour of introduction of new teaching and learning supported by electronic technology it is first important to disseminate expenses; A) Production expenses B) Variable expenses C) Total expenses

4. Proposed solutions Proposed change in funding:

4. Proposed solutions Proposed change in funding: Origin of funding; A) Seek for donations and development project funds B) Charge newly developed training materials and resources to external students, distant students or ones involved in LLL programs C) Redistribution of internal resources in a way that part of the resources are budgeted for development of teaching supported by technology D) Centralization of resources E) Strategic alliances

5. Conclusion Introduction of electronic teaching and learning is inevitable purely because new generation of students is already habited to technology in their basic or secondary education and everyday life, Pressure of those students fighting for their careers will require higher educational institutions to be more and more relevant in every aspect, Some of the institutions will not be able and willing to accommodate to aforesaid trends in time, mostly for their rigid organizational structure and ineffective decision making mechanisms, That kind of legging in market driven higher educational systems may strongly influence institution’s mere existence.
