17. How Satisfied were you overall with the Teaching with Technology Showcase? Very Satisfied • Good information and demonstrations • Learned and socialized – great networking • Lots of varied information; chance to interact with colleagues • Exciting to think of possibilities • Much information was new to me – very helpful • Excellent introduction to learning activities • Great delivery and prep by faculty • Thanks for doing this on a Saturday! • Inspiring and challenging • Learned about teaching tools • Covered a variety of topics (2) • Lots of general information to get me thinking • FAU needs more of these types of programs (Faculty learning from Faculty) Technology is particularly useful • Opportunity to talk with likeminded colleagues outside of my department/college! Ideas were great! • Learned a lot • It was an excellent effort to show support for this area • New Technology • Good ideas – online teaching and podcasts Somewhat Satisfied • Too much going on at the same time; no practical use; but learn the ideas. • I found topics and presentations of interest • I was hoping for more specific examples that I could see and use • Needed more basics on foundations in blackboard use • In the sessions basics as well as more advanced issues were addressed. We need more basic presentations as well. • Was hoping for more basic – how to start info and support to learn how to use the clicker system. Concurrent sessions precluded being in two rooms at same time. Somewhat Dissatisfied • [none] Very Dissatisfied • [none] Back to previous page

18. The Showcase was held at a convenient time/day of the week for me. Strongly Agree • Saturday is great • Keep Saturday morning format. This is most convenient. • Yes!! We can concentrate and learn without worrying about our class. Agree • Saturday is good • Prefer a Friday event • But Friday would have been better Disagree • Weekends are short enough! • Some of us teach fast track Saturday classes and we live over 90 miles away. Strongly Disagree • Use a weekday and a Saturday. This was a great idea, but needs to be expanded. Back to previous page

19. What did you like/dislike most about the showcase? Like • The presenters info • The hands on reflections of those professors already employing the technology • Meeting with colleagues – learning more about using technology • Panel Groups/discussions (2) • Intimate setting • Experience for faculty • Learning and sharing with other faculty • I thought it was valuable and would love to see more in depth sessions in the future • Varity of information; presenters were approachable and not intimidating about technology. • All the sessions and main speaker. • The presentation of personal experiences, new ideas • Interaction with instructors; showing new technology • Podcasting • Mix of people and subjects were good • The ability to hear about potential things coming. To chat and ask questions • Liked mostly everything • iclicker demo Dislike • The food – all white flour in this day of diabetes disease and obesity at a forward thinking conference is unacceptable; and no veggies?! • Some assumed a lot of previous technological knowledge • It was on Saturday • The keynote did not have a clear picture, goal, or message • Not enough presenters • Keynote was not very good • Too Cold. Wish I could have heard more presentations Back to previous page

20. What topics would you like to see offered at a future showcase conference or workshop? • More on using iClicker or similar technology • Teaching strategies/practices (2) • More technical information (2) • Detailed learning activities • Mobile technology • Mini workshops on specific topics – we bring our own laptops (IE; teach us how to add podcasts or other feature to blackboard course.) • How to use less paper and more e-devices • Hands on examples of actual use of the different technologies(2) • Discipline/specific breakout sessions • Smaller round table discussions • Teaching large online classes • Mini podcasts on Camptasia sessions created to address a series of how tos for podcasts using the various tools in Blackboard. • Using digital images more effectively. • Powerpoint modification software • Creating podcasts • Promethean boards • Elliminate (The basics) Back to previous page

21. Additional thoughts, comments, or suggestions • Need to sub-divide the group into novice to experienced user sessions to make the material more relevant to the user • Maybe label levels (Beginner; middle; advance) for each session so professors attend appropriate sessions. • I would like FAU to have one place to go to FAU for Podcasts to show us how to do things • These are wonderful. Offer these twice a year (fall and spring) on a weekend. • Subdivide audience on experience (Grad/undergrad; online teaching/classroom teaching) • Thank you for all of your hard work! It was worth the trip!!! • Need to develop short podcasts on what faculty want/need to know… how to develop a grade book in BB, how to post a YouTube video in HTML, etc. Where to get iclickers and how to use them. • Need to provide in the spot consultants for faculty – brown bags, etc. n • need iPod video on how to set up an online field trip • Need iPod video on how to set up tests and consultant to help • Thanks for hosting this!!! • Where are the films of the sessions going to be posted? One place, I hope. • Offer regular training (hands –on “Over the shoulder”) • I’ve seen offering of computer training given at all campuses on blackboard etc. • Please offer more of theses: • Podcast • Online Field trips • Creation of videos to place in online course • Provide more vegetarian choices • Can’t wait for brown bags! • Would have been helpful to put us in groups Back to previous page

22. Keynote Address Comments • Awesome! • Not really relevant and too generalized; some of us teach using blackboard an expected this to give us specific skills to use, not a lecture about why we need to use technology. We are using it, but expected details today and “hands on” individualized focuses. She should have asked who already knows Bb. And ask for us to pre assess what they expect and want to do today. • Liked the videos. Add how “Google maps” is done – fascinating (A truck or bike drives down the street with a camera on top) This was on Rachel Maddow Oct 23, 2009 (yesterday). • She is an incredible, dynamic speaker. Would love to take a class with her. • She is out of touch. FAU is not a community college . FAU is striving to be a research, top-tired university. Our teaching should accommodate this trend. • A keynote is supposed to set the tone. To be honest – she made me question if I wanted to stay. • Keynote presentation was not as strong as it could have been. Actually it was the least effective. • Somewhat disappointed – would have helped to have a printed version of slides or an outline/ did not appear to know her audience’s needs. Where is the mini tool bit? Needed to see it when we were learning about it. • Too long, more time for questions and answers. • Loved the iClickers • Would have been nice to have her stay for the lunch within informal questions.

23. Getting Caught in the Net: Our Journey to Online Teaching • Impressive! • Enjoyed the personal stories. Confirmed that my experiences were not unique. • Needs to be a longer session (2) • Faculty tips in this session are useful and frank. Discussion of what faculty are doing was really helpful. • Good ideas and advice on online assessment • Need more! Back to previous page

24. I want to Teach Online: What do I do now? • Best part was Elluminate discussion! • Informative and helpful • Time limited; a longer session would have been better • Excellent presentation. Made me feel reading to jump in. • I appreciate the handouts! Back to previous page

25. Technology Enhanced Learning in the Classroom • Opened up a world of possibilities! • Too many panel members; boring. • Some presenters were easier to follow than others • Look forward to seminar in January • Many ideas, needed more time • Less talking – more showing. After all, this was a technology conference • None of the panel introduced themselves- who were they? • Too many speakers, too little time Back to previous page

26. Are you there? Engaging or Disengaging Students • The group discussion was fun! • Listened to audience needs and responded; we’re not all at the same place. Maria understood and made the presentation useable • Good use of the real example – Elluminate Chat Session • PowerPoint handout would have helped Back to previous page

27. Podcasts: A New Way of Delivering Learning and Information • Super!!! I would like a mini workshop and do this in our session • So much to learn about – too little time. Maybe it was designed to wet our appetite, to learn more. • PowerPoint (with links) would have helped • Wonderful knowledge! Can’t wait to check it out. Back to previous page

28. Jump in… the Water’s Fine! Hybridizing and Energizing your (Very) Large enrollment Lecture Course • Overall excellent! Great Presenter! Back to previous page

29. Technology Enhanced Learning for Delivering Mechanical Engineering Courses • [none] Back to previous page

30. Building Community and Student Involvement • Super faculty input. Need more practical iPod podcasts for faculty. Back to previous page

31. IRM Listening Session • What a concept!!! Administrators listening! Great to know what’s being planned and have the opportunity to question and present concerns. Needs to be repeated. • Thank you for asking for our input. • Thank you!!! I really appreciate you listening to us. Too short of a session. Back to previous page
