Tech Team - Technology Team Survey
Discussion of Technology Team Faculty & Staff Survey Questions
Contents
Goal
The goal of the survey is to get a pulse check on all that is going on with technology on campus. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to find out what faculty & staff are thinking about what we are doing and on where we should be going. There is no doubt that there will be some overarching questions that cover everyone, but I also think that there are specific questions that pertain to different areas and divisions.
Timing
Looks like we have decided that the survey should go out the first week of Dec. We need to focus on:
1. What are we doing well?
2. What do we need to work on?
