Hi, Rikki, I have filled the survey from the point of view of an educator and I have a number of comments if you are interested. The survey is quite unbalanced and does not cover all options (more specifically below). I would suggest consulting next time with someone who knows metodology of survey creation (e.g. somebody studying sociology) if you have the option. Cheers, Martin Comments to particular questions: - Do you feel you have the resources you need to teach with? I don't see, how using a blackboard correlates with having resources to teach with. If I have a blackboard and a projector then I have everything I need, anything else is a distraction for me and for students. - Operating systems questions I have to chose one, but the options are quite orthogonal and there is no obvious ordering so I can't choose the most inclusive one. - What software do you use to make presentations in? I use latex and Impress, which option should I choose? - Do you give students the ability to see your presentations? An obvious answer 'yes, afterwards' is for some reason ommited. - Would you be willing to use a presentation software if it meant better integration for students? I don't understand the question. - Do other educators at your institution feel the same way as you? This one needs a 'I don't have any idea' option. - Feedback Our students have to give feedback to at least half of their lectures at the end of each semester, so we get our feedback. However, such option is not really possible in your survey. - Would you feel better knowing students could ask questions during lectures? I don't think I understand what you mean by that. Students can ask question. Heck, it's awsome when they do! - If you could add feedback to future assignments and work for students would you? I'm not sure if I understand it correctly. I always give feedback to my students' assignments. - Are the current methods students use to take notes enough? That really depends on a student. Some studies were conducted that indicated that the pen and paper is probably the best. That or listening carefully, engaging in debates and studying before/after. - If your institution believes in BYOD do you do it? I think it's a nice concept, but I have to cope with security consequences for our university's network. - How interested are you in trying [e-learning]? How about if I already did it? - What form of e-learning would you like to investigate? What type of e-learning is the 'Lectures in person, without lab sessions'
