Early this academic year I sent out a survey to some 450 VSU faculty. Also, an electronic version of the survey was prepared for electronic submission. You may review that survey here for the specific context for which the following summary was prepared. I am sure you will find the results very interesting; they have assisted me greatly with planning next year's Teaching and Technology 'Brown Bag' series. Some sessions will be held his summer, too.
