Title:ELI Discovery Tool: Student/Faculty Questionnaire (ID: ELI8004)
Origin:Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (05/16/2007)

Abstract:

The ELI Student/Faculty Questionnaire is designed to help you explore student and faculty experiences and expectations with technology in teaching and learning. Specifically, the questionnaire examines student and faculty

  • Familiarity with learning technologies,
  • Expectations for the use of technology in teaching and learning, and
  • Views on how students prefer to learn.

This questionnaire provides insight into possible gaps that may exist at your institution, such as

  • The difference between the learning technologies that are expected by today's students and those that your faculty feel comfortable using, and
  • Students' self-described learning preferences contrasted with faculty perceptions of those preferences.
