Abstract

This chapter introduces the Integrated Readiness Matrix (IRM) designed to place faculty skills and competencies along two critical aspects of teaching and learning: the pedagogical and technology dimensions of education. Bloom’s Taxonomy and Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences provide the foundations for developing faculty into more effective classroom teachers. The Taxonomy for the Technology Domain suggests a new perspective for infusing technology into the traditional and online classroom and provides the spectrum of capabilities that actually produce learning. Faculty should seek to move themselves up on either or both dimensions; the IRM will assist in this endeavor. Technology coordinators can use the IRM as a guide to develop courses that specifically target faculty based on their position in one of the five recognized sectors of the IRM. The IRM model is ready for consideration now; future work will focus on the implementation of the matrix and an evaluation of its effectiveness.
