Helen Crompton 2026¶

Helen Crompton, Diane Burke and Christine Nickel. (2026). Designing faculty standards for technology integration in higher education institutions: a design-based research study. International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41239-026-00584-y

q2 · i? · design · r3

Macro cycle one retrospective analysis of coded survey and interview feedback. Participants expressed confusion, asking "Is administrator the best heading?"; the researchers revised the standard name and description accordingly, and reordered the standards to match faculty responsibilities.

"In reflecting on the feedback, the term Administrator is often connected with those in non-faculty leadership roles, such as the Dean. With this, the standard name Administrator was changed to Coordinator and the word administration was removed from the standard description."
