The Faculty Support Committee invites you to complete the Educational Technology at Acadia Survey.
This survey was developed to guide the committee in fulfilling its duties to: (1) advocate for teaching and learning resources for faculty; (2) collect input from all stakeholders to develop and submit policy recommendations to Senate regarding academic technologies; and (3) collect faculty ideas and develop suggestions to meet faculty development needs.
This survey is a first, an opportunity to communicate what technologies you are using and how the university can better support your use of teaching technologies.
The survey is being conducted for internal use only and all data collected will be anonymized by the Faculty Support Committee members and reported upon as major themes and frequencies. The final report will be shared with Senate, AUFA, Senior Leadership, and through the all-faculty mailing list. The data collected will be used to inform the work of the committee in the coming years.
The survey consists of 80 questions and should take 18 to 20 minutes to complete. A copy of the survey questions has been provided in the recruitment email if you wish to review in advance of beginning the survey. If there are questions that you would prefer not to answer, you may leave them blank. The questions that have responses included will be included as part of the data set.
As the university considers how it better supports teaching and educational technologies on campus completing this survey is essential for your perspective and current experiences to be included into the committee’s advocacy for faculty. The committee is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of faculty members in its reporting to allow for honest and fulsome sharing of information for the betterment of the faculty experience and student learning. We are asking for this time commitment for you to share your thoughts and experiences and in return we are committed to ensuring that the information is handled and used with the utmost integrity and consideration for the faculty and students we serve.
If you used an identifying token to access this survey, please rest assured that this token will not be stored together with your responses. It is managed in a separate database and will only be updated to indicate whether you did (or did not) complete this survey. There is no way of matching identification tokens with survey responses.
Please direct any questions you have in regard to the survey to the committee chair, Dr. Lauren Wilson Finniss, lauren.finniss@acadiau.ca, or any of the listed committee members.
Regards,
The Faculty Support Committee
