Produktbeschreibung
Throughout the literature, researchers reported on
the problems that post-secondary
institutions have had with technology. Given limited
budgets and the need to train faculty and staff, many
colleges have struggled to find a way to use
technology to enhance, not hinder, pedagogy. This
study was conducted to examine the impact of the
federally mandated change in the television standard
to high definition television (HDTV) on Florida s
community colleges.

From both interview data and survey data, a picture
emerged of the institutions and the conversion
status. Costs represented the major concern of the
survey respondents with implementation
and training listed as the second and third most
important issues. Many participants from the
community colleges had some thoughts about HDTV, but
these were more on the departmental level rather than
college-wide.

HDTV was projected to become the television standard
in February 2009. The long lead time on this
innovation should have provided community colleges
with time to plan. As revealed, however, community
colleges in Florida failed to plan for change.
