Teaching with Technology Survey Results

Teaching with Technology Survey

Most Faculty Say Technology Has Made Their Jobs Easier

Our 2017 Teaching with Technology Survey found that faculty have a positive outlook about technology’s impact on their work, teaching effectiveness, student learning and more.

In a survey of faculty members at colleges and universities across the United States, 73 percent of respondents said technology has made their jobs “easier” or “much easier.” And nary a one considered their job “much harder” thanks to tech.

Those findings came out of Campus Technology‘s second annual Teaching with Technology Survey, in which we asked faculty to dish on their use of technology, likes and dislikes, views of the future and more. Their responses revealed a lot about the business of teaching and learning with technology today — and how it has changed over the last year.

While 73 percent of faculty were positive about the impact of technology on their jobs, that count represented a slip of four percentage points from last year, when 77 percent believed the same. The number of faculty who think technology has made their jobs harder is holding steady (17 percent this year compared to 16 percent in 2016), and a growing faction feels that tech has not had an impact either way (10 percent this year compared to 6 percent in 2016).

Whether technology is making life hard or easy for faculty, the majority of respondents (85 percent) feel the effort is worthwhile, agreeing that “Technology has positively affected my ability to teach.” That number is slightly lower than last year, when 88 percent felt the same.

The results were similar when it came to technology’s impact on student learning. Eighty-one percent of respondents saw a positive effect, compared to 84 percent last year. And 13 percent feel tech hasn’t affected student learning one way or the other. “Technology is only as successful as the teacher who uses it,” noted one respondent from a public university in California.

Overall, faculty in our survey hold an upbeat view of technology’s value in higher education: Eighty percent think tech has had an “extremely positive” or “mostly positive” impact on education, similar to last year’s count of 81 percent who felt the same.

A handful of respondents were less sanguine, feeling that technology has had a “mostly negative” impact, and 19 percent saw both positive and negative effects. As one faculty member from a two-year institution in Texas asserted, “Technology is rampant, but the actual impact on learning is unknown. Random studies have been conducted, but no one really knows.”

“In some cases, technology is already overshadowing the learning process and making it more difficult,” opined a respondent from Illinois. “More technology is not always the answer and more technology cannot replace good instruction.”

“As with any facet of teaching and learning, there needs to be enough time for faculty to learn to properly use, adapt and implement for technology to be beneficial,” pointed out a respondent from a Florida university.

“Technology used badly can be horrible,” agreed a faculty member in Georgia. “Technology used to enhance student access to the world and their ability to collaborate and create can be awesome! It all depends on how you use it (like everything else).”

The full results of the Teaching with Technology Survey appear in the July digital issueof Campus Technology. Highlights from the survey will also be posted on this site over the coming months. You can check back for ongoing coverage in our Research section.

Who Responded

Our survey polled 232 faculty members across the country about their use of technology in the classroom, their likes and dislikes, their predictions for the future and more. The majority of respondents (68 percent) come from public institutions, with 28 percent from private nonprofits and 4 percent working at for-profit schools. Seventy-two percent work at four-year colleges or universities; 26 percent are at community colleges (the remaining 2 percent designated their institutional level as “other”).

Respondents represent institutions of a range of sizes, with about one-third (32 percent) working in colleges or universities with 2,500 to 9,999 students. Just under half (45 percent) of respondents are from institutions with 10,000 students or more.

Our respondents are veterans of higher education: The largest group (47 percent) has more than 20 years of experience, with 81 percent logging at least 11 years in the field.

The top three most common school and college types among our respondents are education (22 percent), business/business administration (17 percent) and liberal arts (12 percent). But overall, respondents work in a wide range of disciplines, from engineering and medicine to humanities and fine arts. The top 10 states with the most survey respondents are New York, Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Shared Language Courses Fall 2017

With student course enrollments for Fall 2017 on the way, we would like to invite our GLCA colleagues and students in Arabic and German to consider an expansion of course selection options via the GLCA Crossroads Shared Languages Program.

Shared Language Program courses (SLP) courses are especially attractive to students who 

  • want to continue with their studies of Arabic beyond first or second year courses offered at their home campus
  • need to double up to complete their German major or minor
  • have run out of options of courses to take for their major
  • need to take a directed studies because of under-enrollment in a German upper level course
  • have a time conflict with the course offering at their own college
  • have run out of options of courses to take at their home institution
  • need to take a directed studies because of lack of course course offerings
  • have a particular subject interest that no one program could accommodate 
  • would like to benefit from a global course connections course component
  • are interested in exploring new pedagogies with digital technologies in a virtually interactive environment 
  • are not able to go study abroad but would like to meet new people with similar interests 
  • eventually with the success of the SLP may minor or major in Arabic
  • and more..

This program also has great benefits for faculty who 

  • are one-man or one-woman programs and miss having a like-minded colleague for the exchange of ideas and concerns
  • are concerned about under-enrolled classes and fear of cancellation
  • with the advantages the SLP affords may be able to expand their Arabic program to a minor or major even with one home institution factually member
  • wish to expand their facility with digital pedagogies
  • seek professional development that no one campus can offer
  • want to join the discussion on ways to address the future of our discipline
  • wish to teach a course outside of their language program but “cannot get away”
  • have numerous directed studies students due to some of the reasons mentioned above (usually without any compensation)
  • and much more

Screen Shot 2017-03-31 at 3.42.25 PMThis semester, we are able to offer two SLP courses in Arabic and two in German. Our Arab colleagues from Denison University and Earlham College, Dr. Hanada Al-Masri, respectively Dr. Kelly Tuttle  are offering a language course on the intermediate level and an Arabic writing course.

Screen Shot 2017-03-30 at 4.05.21 PM

For German, Dr. Lee Forester  is offering a course in German Linguistics and I  will teach a course on Germany’s Young Generation. All pertinent information can be found here. 

The course enrollment process is simple with the respective registrars having contributed significantly to design a smooth experience for both students and faculty. All the information you and your interested students will need, can be found on this website page, please scroll all the way down. 

First pilot semester student feedback results are very encouraging. (Full results are available, please ask.) All students found all aspects of the courses very “doable”, “engaging”, many also “exciting”. They all enjoy meeting other students with similar interests and especially appreciate the added diversity of both students and instructors. They are learning important inter-cultural lessons and can better apply technological skills in the academic environment and beyond. 

There are no specific technology requirements. All students will need is a computer with a built-in camera (or plug in a webcam), a quiet, well-lit place to sit, and a stable internet connection. The SLP instructors will provide your students with a course orientation that addresses all technology aspects. 

Colleagues who serve as on-campus advisors for students participating in a SLP course will receive a stipend. Likewise, if you chose to offer a SLP course yourself, there will be compensation from the GLCA SLP Mellon grant. 

Please also look out for an announcement for a SLP workshop for anybody who is interested on any level of engagement that will take place at Denison University from May 21 (evening dinner) to May 25th (midday). 

And finally, the most important feature of this program is that we are offering our students a wider range of possibilities to stay engaged in the language and culture they chose to study. 

Please let me know how our SLP team can assist you with any further questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you. 

The GLCA expresses its appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Lee Forester (Hope), Dr. Hanada Al-Masri (Denison), Dr. Kelly Tuttle (Earlham), and (almost Dr.) Basem Al-Rabaa (Oberlin) for their pioneering work and open-minded spirit! 

Shared Languages Program Launch

In the Spring 2017 semester, Earlham, Denison, and Oberlin will offer their first Shared Languages Program courses. This program is an initiative funded by a Mellon grant, Global Crossroads, with which the Great Lakes Colleges Association is supporting campus internationalization and globalization efforts throughout its 13 domestic consortial college member institutions.

In Arabic, Dr. Kelly Tuttle will teach Arabic 341: Alienation in Modern Arabic Literature (in Arabic) at Earlham College while Dr. Hanada Al-Masri will be offering Arabic 300: Media Arabic (in Arabic) at Denison University. Dr. Basem Al-Raba’a will be encouraging Oberlin students, who would otherwise not have the opportunity to continue their Arabic language studies, to participate as guest students in these upper level Arabic courses. Allegheny’s Arabic professor, Dr. Reem Hilal, as well as DePauw’s Arabic professor, Ghassan Nasr, are looking into identifying students for whom these course offerings would be a great opportunity to continue their Arabic studies.

germanposterIn German, Dr. Gabriele Dillmann will offer German 305: Migration to and from Germany and the EU since 1945 (with a special focus on the current refugee crisis) at Denison University in collaboration with Hope College’s German professor Dr. Lee Forester who will encourage Hope German students to engage not only with Denison students in this course but also with AUBG students as part of the Global Liberal Arts Alliance Global Course Connections program. As a globally connected course, Dr. Dillmann’s students have meaningful opportunities to engage with students from diverse cultural backgrounds at the American University in Bulgaria. Albion’s German professor Dr. Perry Myers has expressed interest in participating in the program in the near future.

The Shared Languages program has been in the making since January 2016 and has since then been directed by Gabriele Dillmann for the GLCA Crossroads Initiative. Interested faculty have met during two summer workshops for Arabic, respectively German to discuss language pedagogy, course content, digital pedagogy, and course logistics. A follow-up working group meeting will take place in December at Denison U to discuss course assessment strategies and faculty will offer a show and tell of their pre-pilot work in their current Arabic and German courses. Logistical and technological details have since been worked out with the help of our participating schools’ four highly engaged registrars and apt IT personnel, and an informative Student Q&A has been created.

Many thanks to Simon Gray (Program Officer at GLCA) and all my Arabic and German colleagues, registrars, and IT personnel who are making this exciting new program happen!!

The American College of Greece (ACG) was founded in 1875 in Smyrna, Asia Minor as a school for girls by American, Congregational, women missionaries. In 1922 the College relocated to Athens, Greece. In 1961 the College began its operation under an independent, self-perpetuating board of trustees. The College moved to its current 64-acre main campus on Mt. Hymettus overlooking Athens in 1965; a downtown campus was added in 1993. ACG has two educational divisions: PIERCE, one of Greece’s premier private high schools (800 students in grades 7-12) and DEREE, the higher education division, which offers 21 undergraduate majors in the arts and sciences and business and six masters degree programs in applied psychology, business, communication, finance, leadership, and marketing. In 1981 DEREE became the first international American college or university to be accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Currently DEREE enrolls over 3,000 students from 56 countries, making it the largest American college or university in Europe. Thirty-three thousand ACG alumni serve in Greece and around the world in virtually every field of human endeavor.

There is no collective website for the languages/Modern Languages on ACG’s site. I found German, French, Italian, Modern Greek, Spanish, each levels 1-3 plus Business language.

The American University in Bulgaria (AUBG) is a selective and residential liberal arts institution that was established in 1991 to educate students of outstanding potential in a community of academic excellence, diversity, and respect and to prepare them for democratic and ethical leadership in serving the needs of the region and the world. AUBG is accredited both in the US and in Bulgaria. Courses are taught in English by high-quality faculty coming from four continents, experienced in teaching in a multicultural, learner-centered environment. Currently, there are about 1,100 students studying at AUBG, representing 40 countries. It offers 9 undergraduate programs in Business Administration, Computer Science, Economics, European Studies, History and Civilizations, Information Systems, Journalism and Mass Communication, Mathematics, Political Science and International Relations, and an Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) program. The success of the University is attested by the 3,000 alumni who have already found their place in prestigious companies, started their own successful businesses, or have continued their education at renowned universities worldwide. Even Bulgaria’s newly launched university ranking system recognized the quality of education at AUBG. The University leads all Bulgarian universities in terms of the employability of its graduates and the incomes they earn, according to the system.

Modern Languages Sub-Department

The Minor in Modern Languages and Cultures at AUBG is an interdisciplinary program for students who wish to acquire linguistic, cultural and literary proficiency in one of the following languages: German, French, Spanish or Bulgarian. It can be easily combined with many disciplines offered at AUBG such as Business Administration, Economics, Journalism and Mass Communication, European Studies and Political Science and International Relations.

Founded in 1919, The American University in Cairo (AUC) is an independent and non-profit university that promotes the ideals of American liberal arts, professional education, lifelong learning, and service to Egypt and the region. The AUC has 435 faculty members and 6064 students who are mostly from Egypt and the United States. Thirty undergraduate majors, including Business Administration, Journalism & Mass Communication, Mechanical Engineering and Political Science, and twenty-seven graduate majors, including Business Administration, Political Science, Computer Science, Mass Communication and Middle East Studies, are offered at AUC.

Center for Arabic Language Instruction

Founded in 1866, the American University of Beirut bases its educational philosophy, standards, and practices on the American liberal arts model of higher education. A teaching-centered research university, AUB has around 700 instructional faculty members, a student body of around 8,000 men and women, and a major medical center that serves Lebanon and the region. Professional schools include engineering, medicine, business, agriculture and food sciences, health sciences, and arts and sciences. The University encourages freedom of thought and expression and seeks to graduate men and women committed to creative and critical thinking, life-long learning, personal integrity, civic responsibility and leadership.

Arabic Language Studies

The American University of Nigeria (AUN) was established in 2005 to serve as an agent of economic development, and a model of post-secondary education for Nigeria and the region, provide the skills and leadership essential to solving the continent’s pressing problems, and equip students with tools to achieve both personal and material success. The AUN presently has 72 faculty members and 1188 students from Nigeria, Ghana, the United States, Pakistan, Lebanon and Zambia. It has 15 undergraduate majors, and Computer Science, Information Systems and Software Engineering majors, housed within the School of Information Technology and Communications, are the largest programs of study.

English Literature

Minors are not listed, but judging by the Gen Ed program, French is offered.

The American University of Paris (AUP) fast approaching its 50th anniversary, was founded by an American foreign service officer who believed, after World War II, that American students required a different kind of education, one that would “de-provincialize” them, awaken them to cultural differences, and prepare them to take their places in a world held increasingly in common. Once a two-year institution for the children of expatriate Americans returning to the States via articulation agreements with Ivy League schools, AUP is today a master’s university, home to students from 100 different nationalities, and faculty from 30, fourteen different undergraduate majors and nine master’s programs. A survey of entering-class languages and dialects taken annually between 2001 and 2009 reveals that 89 different languages were represented on our campus between those dates—the figure rises to 97 if one factors in the results of a faculty language survey taken in 2002. AUP is one of the most genuinely diverse, and thereby pedagogically rich, small liberal arts institutions in the world today. The mix of ethnicities, nationalities, languages, cultures and faiths that characterize the AUP classroom makes this University a living laboratory for higher education in a globalized world. AUP’s curriculum, from the first-year learning communities through the graduate programs, takes advantage of this diversity in its approach to issues of identity and global interdependence. Indeed, in recognition of our curricular reform, we were distinguished by the AAC&U in 2003 as one of eleven leadership schools in “Liberal Education for Global Citizenship.”

Literary and Creative Studies in the Arts in French

Minor in European Languages and Cultures: English and French, one extra language, which comes from previous language learning or while at AUP, but AUP does not seem to offer any additional languages itself.

Speaking the World = English and French and students are encouraged to take external language courses for a third or 4th language.

Ashesi University College Ashesi means “beginning” in the native Ghanaian language Akan. Founded in 2002, Ashesi is a private, non-profit liberal arts college located in Ghana, West Africa. The university’s mission is to educate a new generation of ethical and entrepreneurial leaders in Africa; to cultivate within students the critical thinking skills, the concern for others and the courage it will take to transform their continent. Ashesi has 631 students from 22 countries. The school offers a four-year bachelors program grounded in a liberal core curriculum, featuring majors in Business Administration, Management Information Systems, Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Set on 100 acres in Berekuso, overlooking Ghana’s capital city of Accra, Ashesi’s campus unites traditional Ghanaian design, modern technology and environmental best practices.

No language studies

Founded in 2005, Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts (BISLA) is the first liberal arts college in Slovakia; its undergraduate degree programs aim to convey general knowledge and develop students’ intellectual capacity. BISLA currently has 14 faculty members (5 full-time) and 55 students. It intends to remain small and international in order to maintain an environment conducive to vigorous discussions. BISLA’s core curriculum is based on political science with offerings in other social science disciplines and the humanities, namely history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, theatre and fine arts, and literature.

No language studies other than English.

Franklin University Switzerland is an American International institution of higher learning, established in 1969, whose sole campus lies in the city of Lugano, near the border with Italy. Franklin is accredited by the Middles States Commission on Higher Education in the US and its academic programs are recognized by OAQ/CUS, the Swiss accrediting agencies, making it the only institution with dual US-Swiss accreditation. Franklin’s emphasis is on international education and the liberal arts, which it integrates into a wide range of majors and interdisciplinary programs in the applied sciences and the humanities, including International Management; International Relations; International Banking and Finance; Environmental Studies; International Economics; Communications and Media Studies; Visual and Communication Arts; and Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies. This global focus can also be seen in Franklin’s signature Academic Travel Program, in which each semester all students travel with faculty to destinations around the world for field work, service learning, or cultural immersion, for a total of nearly 40 such trips each academic year. In fall 2010, the College had 50 total faculty and 450 students, approximately 65% of whom from the US, 20% from Europe and 10% from the Middle East. Nearly 85% of the student body lives in college residences, which also contributes to purposeful intercultural learning. Under the auspices of Franklin’s newly formed Taylor Institute for Global Enterprise Management, in fall 2011 Franklin will launch its first Master’s program, an MSc in International Management, which has already been accepted for inclusion under Franklin’s accreditation by Middle States.

Italian and French Studies majors

Italian, French, and German Studies minors (- however, I don’t see anybody on the faculty teaching German, it could be outsourced.)

International Christian University is Japan’s first liberal arts college. It was founded in 1953 based on Christian principles, with the aim of “cultivating capable individuals, educated as internationally minded citizens, who will serve both God and people and who will contribute to lasting peace.” ICU offers a fully bilingual education in Japanese and English. The liberal arts education, provided by its undergraduate college, allows students to pursue an in-depth study in any of approximately 30 majors. At the same time, this education highlights the dynamic possibilities that can emerge as students experience areas that transcend and connect academic disciplines. The ICU tradition emphasizes interaction, and its campus offers an environment where students can interact fluently with faculty and staff outside the classroom. This campus, without parallel, was provided to ICU in the wake of the destruction from World War II, through the generous donations of a great many people who supported the university’s founding principles.

Language Education Program does not teach a foreign language but teaches how to teach it, here only English and Japanese are listed as such courses.

John Cabot University was founded in 1972 and endeavors to provide an educational experience firmly rooted in the American tradition of the liberal arts and solidly international in orientation. The academic programs are designed to fully harness the strengths of its multicultural faculty and an international student body, as well as the extraordinarily-rich culture and history of Rome and its environs. John Cabot has over 100 faculty members (13 full-time), and 360 degree-seeking and 500 visiting students from the United States, Italy and the European Union writ large. It offers 13 majors, including International Business, Communications and International Affairs.

John Cabot in Rome, Italy offers English and Italian studies but does not teach foreign languages beyond these.
