Abstract

‘We need more disruptive behaviour’, is not the final action call most academics will be hoping for from a title promising to outline the use and misuse of digital technologies in higher education. However, on reaching this final sentence, teaching staff will likely recognise themselves as part of this disruptive revolution; for what is being suggested is not necessarily a teaching-level change, but a greater recognition by those planning university-wide IT strategies that the use of digital technology is not something that can or should be contained as a one-size fits all model.
