Abstract
To students, technology supported learning is a continuing innovation and an expectation, based on their existing pervasive use of technology and social networking. Faculty, however, have quite a different background and often view technology supported learning as a disruptive innovation. Not uncommon is concern for if, when and how technology should be made available and effectively integrated in a pedagogically sensitive fashion and what intended (and unintended) consequences might prevail. Institutions worldwide are struggling with reward systems issues and support options. This presentation will reflect over a decade of experience in getting technology supported learning used and useful in Hong Kong and beyond. Special attention will be given to issues of faculty development and institutional change.
