Increasing Digital Teaching IQ in Higher Education

Faculty at higher ed institutions are responsible for preparing the next generation for careers, life and citizenship in a world where digital texts, tools and technologies are transforming society. As college and university administrators seek greater efficiencies through online learning and the use of digital media in the classroom, how are faculty in community colleges, public or private colleges, and large universities responding? What motivates faculty to want to revise or change instructional strategies to make greater use of digital media tools? How do faculty learn how to increase their "digital teaching IQ"?
