6.4 Organizational Contexts of Advanced Courseware Projects

Factors related to organizational contexts were far more critical than had been anticipated prior to the initiation of this research. The unexpected emphasis is reflected in the fact that most illustrations regarding organizational issues have been drawn from original interviews rather than publications. It appears that in todays advanced computing environments, organizational challenges may be the most complex and least accessible. It is not clear if this was the case in past efforts, or is a product of the new environments. Further investigations would be required to determine which is the case. The importance and emphasis has been represented within the model described by this chapter by placing these issues at the base of the model, and representing them visually with the largest area.
