Karl Weick's Sense-Making Model (Ch 4, #2)

Weick's model of organizing has 3 parts: enactment, selection and retention. In enactment, members create environments through their actions and patterns of attention. On the instructor blog, there is a comment from a recent news article that SJSU cannot grow because it is in an urban geography (and thus, has set physical boundaries). This enactment of an environment seems very limited in the approach and contradictory to the Silicon Valley environment in which the university is located. We are at the heart of technology, so why not look to technology for solutions to help the university grow? Various online learning opportunities exist and the features range from direct/simple (like this blog) to learning management software (like Blackboard). Maybe the university could use some boundary spanners to help expose the technology and learning solutions out there.
