Summary of Needs Assessment Survey
The Faculty Development Committee conducted a needs assessment with Faculty and Staff to learn more about their classroom technology needs, what writing surfaces they would like to see in teaching and learning spaces, seating needs, and to better understand what classroom factors are important to them. The survey also provided an opportunity to find out what teaching methods were commonly used by faculty and staff, and to learn about what professional development sessions they were interested in. A summary of the needs assessment survey results can be found here.
