Technology Enhanced Classroom Faculty Survey
Here you will find the results of the Technology Enhanced Classroom Faculty Survey that was completed in mid-February. Participants included 183 faculty whose classes take place in a TEC. The survey's purpose included three elements. First, we wanted to garner support for refresh and maintenance of these classrooms. The classroom enhancements were initiated in 2002 and at this point some equipment warranties are running out and these devices are beginning to show their age. Second, we wanted the gage our support levels for the classrooms in order to make any necessary adjustments. Finally, we were interested in perceived teaching and learning effects of the technology from the faculty perspective.
The survey produced 21 pages of written comments, clarifications, and explanations based on the the information in the survey questions. As a result of this level of response, it took somewhat longer to analyze. Summaries, in rank order, are included in the slides. It was suggested that a general comments section be made available to provide an opportunity for feedback on issues not directly addressed in the survey questions. This will be included in any future TEC surveys.

In addition to the results presented here, there will be a white paper coming out that will provide a more specific summary of what is included in the slides.
