Domain-specific technologies, which are used for analysis, representation, and production in real-world contexts, differ from basic technologies, such as word processing software and Internet search tools. They cannot be used effectively without adequate command of fundamental domain-specific content knowledge. They can be used to deepen students' understanding of content, but these technologies bring distinct classroom-integration challenges. This chapter presents a framework for supporting in-service teachers to integrate these technologies. The research team derived this framework from data collected during an extended TPACK-style (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) workshop that engaged 13 life science community college instructors in integrating bioinformatics technologies into courses. This chapter presents a case study about the challenges community college teachers faced in implementing these tools—and the strategies they used to address them. Challenges included activity translation, problem definition, implementation, and assessment.

The paper discusses the more interesting findings of a study on "The Concept and the Determinants of Job Satisfaction". The study's sample population was the full-time Community College Instructors in Ontario. The paper focuses on the relative contribution of individual and organizational factors to instructors' job satisfaction, with special emphasis on the apparent presence in the colleges of an "authority conflict syndrome". Policy recommendations to improve the prevailing situation are suggested.
