As the Third Wave Approaches Higher Education: Planning for the Electronic Institution.

Leslie, Judith W.

CAUSE/EFFECT, v4 n1 p6-15 Jan 1981

A framework and a derivative course of action to higher education institutions as they move through transition from an industrial to technological society are presented with reference to Alvin Toffler's "The Third Wave." The concept of equilibrium/disequilibrium is the theoretical basis of the framework. Three models demonstrate the application of the concept. (Author/MLW)
