Abstract: Unlike nearly every aspect of our lives that has changed enormously in the past decades, academic teaching has changed very little, and a professor walking into a classroom populated with dozens of students who are trying to grasp the material presented to them, is relevant today as it was a century ago. To discern this phenomenon, this paper discusses some of the most promising technologies which have emerged during the last quarter of a century (accessibility to the internet, smartphones and Massive Open Online Courses) while indicating their failure to facilitate a large-scale pedagogical change in academia, in contradiction to high expectations and predictions. A perspective is suggested on the perception and motivation of the three major stakeholders of academic teaching – instructors, students and institutes, signifying the lack of incentives on their part for large-scale change. Finally the gap between the volume of research in the field of information technology integration i n higher education pedagogy and the little change in academic teaching reality is discussed, and a course of action that may change this state of affair is offered.
