ELI Launches Top Teaching and Learning Challenges Survey

Created by Peggy Kurkowski (EDUCAUSE) on October 6, 2008

Assessment. Learning space design. Changing student and faculty practice. When polled, focus groups within the EDUCAUSE teaching and learning community identified their top “challenges” in teaching and learning with IT. But how does your list compare? What big issues dominate your campus conversations and water cooler debates? What challenges would you add?

This fall, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative is asking members to "weigh in" with their biggest challenges through a community survey, open through October. This brainstorming survey kicks off the EDUCAUSE Top Teaching and Learning Challenges project, a new community effort to both surface issues and to aggregate resources that can help to address them. Through online brainstorming, face-to-face sessions at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, and an EDUCAUSE-wide community vote, participants will identify the top-five issues in teaching and learning with technology. With the list in hand, the community will begin building content around each challenge, creating dynamic resource pages in wikis within EDUCAUSE Connect, and through collaborative working groups on the Challenges Ning Network. Adding to the readings and resources, community members will also be asked to contribute new content by drafting case study "community solutions" or creating podcasts and videos to illustrate solutions from their own campuses.

Help set the agenda and collaborate with colleagues around real solutions and innovative directions. Visit the project home page for more details.
