The group decided to work on a similar project as in Spring and Summer 2020.

As we have approached Fall 2020 semester, it will be interesting to re-administer a similar survey to gauge increasing levels of comfort with online learning.  A key component to focus on as data are collected in Fall 2020 is the inequities that emerged from the Spring 2020 survey: Hispanic women and traditional age students had a more difficult time adapting to ERI than other demographic groups.  The demographic profile of respondents also highlighted some of these inequities.  While the profile of faculty respondents largely reflected the demographic patterns of Kingsborough’s body of faculty, male students were heavily under-represented among student respondents [sampling].  While this may reflect an overall lower level of interest in survey taking by male students (participation levels by male students in other surveys has been similarly low), it may also be indicative of possible inequities in access to technology or connectivity.  Efforts will be made to recruit survey respondents that more accurately represent the college’s overall demographic profile.

Next steps: Participants will look at prior surveys and select the questions that will be included the updated survey, add specific questions related to inequities, challenges, online instruction, etc.

Attached is a summary of Spring 2020 surveys.
