2. What is and isn’t working about the seminar series? 1.Developed questionnaire 2.Got approval from the human ethics committee 3.Created survey on Qualtrics 4.Emailed the seminar list and asked them to complete it

It is very interesting for us to learn about all the different technologies and how they are being used by academic teaching staff across the university “ “interested in finding innovative ways to enhance teaching; hear what colleagues are doing”

5. 80% encouraged a colleague to attend the series 63% plan to use information in courses 64% met new people 73% feel interests of the group reflected

6. When you have not attended, what has been your primary reason:

9.

10. Briefly describe something that you would like to see improved or changed or something that you did not like 1.Problems with scheduled time 2. Sessions more inclusive of: student perceptions, disciplines, other campuses Better accessibility for those on satellite campuses At the academic sessions, some student representation would be really interesting Timing was hard as this is my heavy teaching term More non-science examples, please
