The practice of scholars publishing their thinking and research as peer reviewed work in print has become in recent years the primary measure for demonstrating competence in higher education. Unfortunately, this increased emphasis has at times been to the detriment of good teaching. Interestingly, several current trends suggest that the "publish or perish" phenomenon as practiced in recent years could very well have reached its zenith and is about to undergo significant changes. Moreover this changes are occuring in parallel with the bursting of what some say is an "educational bubble" that could dwarf other recent financial crises. These trends include the changing academic landscape as new technologies facilitate online learning, and information distribution movesaway from print to online delivery. At the same time, these same new technologies are facilitating the explosion of new information and knowledge in some fields while scholars in other fields are finding it increasingly difficult to report new research that is interesting and useful. This article places these changes in the historical context of higher education in the United States and suggest that educational technology has the potential to not only improve the learner experience, but also to provide opportunities for reasearch and publishing as additional means of assesing professorial competence.
