Roles of administrators are often overlooked when discussing the quality of online education. Administrators have long asserted the pivotal influence on school policies, faculty members’ morale, and learning atmosphere. This chapter examines the challenges administrators face in ensuring the quality and viability of online programs. In the chapter, we suggest that the responsibilities of an effective higher education administrator encompass roles as strategic planner and manager, effective motivator, aggressive promoter, and strong supporter of others. We also put forth recommendations for administrators that might help them improve the quality and success of online programs.

Purpose: The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between knowledge management and psychological empowering with teachers' creativity in a descriptive correlational method in Isfahan in 2015. Methodology: The statistical population included all teachers teaching at a 1st grade of boyish high schools of Isfahan city (774 teachers) out of which 256 persons were chosen through multi-steps accidental sampling using Corcoran method. Research instruments contained 3 questionnaires of knowledge management of Patrick and Sonia (2009) with 38 questions, questionnaire of psychological empowerment by Spritizer (1996) with 15 questions and creativity questionnaire of Tierney et al. (1999) having 9 questions based on Likert's 5-item scale. In order to examine the justifiability of questionnaires. Stability of this questionnaire was examined using Cronbach's Alpha, which was 0.90, 0.80and 0.83 for management, psychological empowerment, and creativity respectively. In order to analyze data, we used a descriptive statistic (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and influential statistic (Pearson correlational coefficient, multi-step regression and variance analytic test). Main Findings: Findings of this study showed that there exists a positive, meaningful relationship between two predicting a variable of knowledge management (r꞊ 0.382) and all its dimensions and also psychological empowerment (r꞊0.136) and its affectivity dimension with creativity.(p<0.05). Implications: Results of this study can help education administrator to streamline teacher’s activity in higher education institutions.

A better understanding of one's racial identity can help eliminate racial injustice in higher education. Critical whiteness studies posit that white identity must be revealed. Using scholarly personal narrative, this study explored how self-realization of racial identity led to a more authentic acknowledgment of racial injustice, support for its elimination, and empathetic understanding of the injustices experienced by marginalized people. The personal narrative is that of a White, male higher education administrator, constructed around three data units, including student and professional experiences at the University of Missouri System. This study was prompted by two compelling questions posed by a professor: How can you love your country and be patriotic when it allowed by law chattel slavery? Would you trade places with a Black man? This study explores how racial identity can provide insight and inform strategies for higher education leaders who are seeking to eliminate racial injustice. Based on Helms's (1993) White racial identity development model, the research design uses a growth continuum informed by Conquergood's (1985) moral map to critically examine how a personal journey within the Black-White racial context led to greater, empathetic understanding of the racial injustices experienced by Black friends, classmates, colleagues, and others.

In colleges and universities, as amount of students has become more and more and their psychology have also become more and more complicate, additionally, psychological consultation work is also very finite. Though higher education administrators have already adopted some efficient artificial monitor to manage their students, the structural contradictions of student management have become more and more obvious than before. In order to deal with complex, covert and exceeding spatio-temporal psychology of these students, we should urgently use an advanced technology to design a kind of student psychology predicting system based on spatio-temporal database. Via the system the educational management can mainly supervise and actively prevent instead of dealing with accident passively. According to the practical requirements of educational management, firstly, the system creates students’ spatial trip information database, which mainly includes students’ spatial location, behavior, psychological dynamic and time. And then it uses association analysis technology to extract their relationship among student’s spatial location, behavior, psychological dynamic and time. Finally, the system will provide predicating association rules for higher education administrator. Via these rules education administrator will draw up some measures to supervise students’ psychological dynamic and actively prevent violent and passive behavior.
