Variation in faculty enthusiasm and involvement

Wide range of...
What do people use:
Images (75%)
News media sources
Portals
Online reference
digital file/video 62
maps 53
online or digitized docs 50
audio materials (46)
How used:
presented during lectures 71
assigned for review/studey 59
assigned for research projects
What were motivations?
Integrate primary source material into course
it improves my students learning
to provide students with...
barriers and frustrations
they cannot substituted for the teaching approaches I use 75
I dont' have time
I don't have reliable access to physical resources in my classroom
they distract from the core goals of teaching
among the top reasons for non-use were rooms
what would be your take-home message?
1- rapid evolution of types of technologies is making it very hard for faculty to keep up... how do you maintain consistency over time given the rapid evolution
2 - there is a tendency to target the lowest common denominator... how do we understand the variety of needs (i.e. reg. history prof versus art historian in use of images)
