Have your say on teaching at UVic

Now’s your chance to help chart the future of teaching support at UVic.

The first comprehensive, university-wide instructional needs assessment survey is now available on the UVic Web site at <survey.inst.uvic.ca/needs2002.asp>. The survey is designed to identify current and projected instructional needs, including instructional technology requirements and preferred modes of accessing resources.

If you’re involved in any aspect of instruction at UVic — as a regular faculty member, sessional instructor, laboratory instructor, teaching assistant, or library personnel — the vice president academic and the Learning and Teaching Centre would like to hear from you.

The survey results will help the Learning and Teaching Centre make informed decisions on programs, resources, and communication channels required to meet teaching needs. Throughout the process, all respondents’ identities will remain anonymous and survey results will be used for statistical purposes only.

Paper copies of the survey are available through academic unit secretaries and should be returned to the office of institutional planning and analysis. However, respondents are urged to complete the Web-based survey where possible to facilitate data collection, entry, and analysis.

To have your input included in the results, submit your response by no later than May 31. For more information call 472-5076.
