14 June 18, 2015 Over the last decade, American higher education has created a doughnut IT infrastructure: all periphery and no center. We have invested in the machinery but not in the teachers and the scholars to make that machinery worthwhile in the classroom and in scholarship. The massive investment in networks and computers will not pay off until we fill in the hole, until we work together to create content. From “Why IT Has Not Paid Off As We Hoped (Yet)”By Edward L. Ayers and Charles M. Grisham EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 38, no. 6 (November/December 2003): 40–51.
