Assessing Faculty's Technology Needs

Podcast. This is a segment from "How To Get Faculty To Do What You Want". (I have edited the file so that you are only hearing the one segment.)

Consider the future. How will faculty need to adjust to the changing needs of learners? Pay particular attention to the faculty development portions of this article entitled "Planning for 'neomillennial' learning styles: Implications for investments in technology and faculty"

Who's online and what are they doing? Look at this interesting study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project
