Draft Surveys for Faculty and Students about Spring 2020 Conversion to ERI – DATA FIG 5-13-20 v3 (1)

Below you will also find some findings from a recent survey administered by Top Hat to over 3,000 students. Please take a look at the questions and lets discuss if there is anything else we want to add to our current draft. We are aiming at collecting​ actionable data that will be useful to make changes in the future.

​Initially, the group shared the experience of prior crisis and what their perceived effects had been in teaching. A short discussion followed regarding suggestions offered by some selected articles (please see source below). For example, it is recommended to reduce cognitive load in times of crisis, assign relevant activities or material, talking directly to students, etc.

Suggestions were made to administer a survey to students and faculty to find out about their experience during emergency remote teaching during Spring 2020. Prior to drafting the surveys, we need to clarify the goal. Is the goal to collect data that are actionable for future online teaching or helps us better prepare for future potential crisis. We will return to this discussion in our second meeting on Wed, May 13, 2pm. 

I look forward to seeing all on Wednesday, May 13th at 2. Below is Zoom information on all future meetings.
