Technology Integration: Best Practices in Highereducation: Mapping Technology Integration Fidelity Levels Usinginnovation Component Configuration Maps Manisha Javeri

This book highlights indicators of best practices intechnology integration in higher education. The bookfurther describes a detailed study related to thetechnology integration practices of faculty inSchools, Colleges, and Departments of Education(SCDEs) in the United States of America. The researchquestions that guided this study are: 1) To whatextent do SCDE faculty report high fidelity, moderatefidelity, or low fidelity technology integrationpractices in their teaching? 2) Is there arelationship between level of technology integrationfidelity (high, moderate or low) by SCDE faculty andaccess to adequate support from technologicalinfrastructure, human infrastructure and theirpersonal attitude toward computer use? The InnovationComponent Configuration Map (ICCM) (measuringtechnology integration/fidelity), DemographicQuestionnaire measuring (technological infrastructureand human infrastructure), and the Attitudes TowardComputer Usage Scale (ATCUS) measuring attitudestoward computers) were used in this study. The bookprovides practical recommendations for sustainabletechnology integration in any educational settings.
