As a result of a Technology Retreat sponsored by the Maricopa Community Colleges (Arizona) in 1988, action/research groups were formed to explore the various challenges of implementing instructional technology effectively. This interim report reviews the work of the groups, with a summary report from each, as follows: (1) "Alternative Funding Sources for Technology Applications" (Angela Ambrosia and Dan Whittemore); (2) "Classroom of the Future" (Chuck West and Mike Svaco); (3) "Cross College Collaboration" (Doyle Burke and Bertha Landrum); (4) "Improving Access to Learning with Technology" (David Dalby and Naomi O. Story); (5) "Library/Learning Resource Center of the Future" (Carmen Coracides and Laurita Moore); (6) "Planning for Information Technologies Facilities" (Jim Jacob and Jan Baltzer); (7) "Staying Current with Technological Change: Implications for Internal Training and Development" (Jamie Cavalier); (8) "Technology, Learning Theory, and Curriculum Restructuring (Integration of Learning Theory, Content, and Technology)" (Julie Bertch and Billie Hughes); and (9) "Where Are We Going and How Do We Get There" (Mark Montanus and Ron Bleed). Selected comments from the discussion leaders (Chairs) are included. (SLD)
