=Ed Department: Survey questions=

Intro:
Explanation to faculty of purpose of this survey (to gather data on how faculty are using and would like to use technology in our teaching (within each program), research and service. We will be able to analyze the results in multiple ways e.g. by department, by program, according to faculty appointment.

Suggestion: let's ask what technology faculty members require their STUDENTS to use (so we can see what expectations each program has for student competence with technology tools). (added by Terrie)

How are faculty integrating the following technology into teaching?
(UECh, ElEd, Special Education, STEP, Liberal Ed, Certificate courses), research, and service? (There will be label set that enables users to check each item under the above categories).

Which of the following are you using or have you used during the past year as part of your normal use? (what you have actually used or use, not just what you have been exposed to or experimented with once or twice). We are looking for something that you have essentially adopted as a tool (check all that apply, and indicate in which areas you use/have used them e.g. UECH, ElEd, STEP etc).
