Abstract

Modern information technology has greatly impacted the administrative and instructional environment of higher education. Last two decades, it has been providing benefits to campus operational management and program instruction. Careful incorporation of information technology has become a vital operational goal for many institutions of higher education as they move toward the digital campus. As an institution the vision of the digital campus takes on an added importance. Istanbul Aydn University (IAU) launched its digital campus initiatives in the last six years using a systematic approach to achieve its intended goals. Five phases of activities have been defined and pursued since then.
