Using Computing Technology in Teaching

Instructions

Please answer the following questions. Your time is greatly appreciated.
In an effort to ascertain the range of uses of computing technology in teaching at VSU, and to identify faculty who are engaged in these activities, I thought it was important to initiate such a review, in order to provide helpful information to the university community. As a result, a database can be established for dialogue, exchanges of ideas for effective teaching technology, and identification of faculty from whom others might want to solicit advice, assistance, etc. Please regard this effort as designed entirely to help promote improvements in the integration of computing technology in instruction at VSU. Thank you very much for your valuable time.
