Survey: Faculty Getting More Confident in Tech Skills, but Students' Skills Are Slipping - Rhea Kelly, Campus Technology
Faculty confidence in their technological abilities is growing. In a nationwide survey on the use of technology for teaching and learning, a full 84 percent of respondents said they are "absolutely confident" or "very confident" in their tech skills (up from 79 percent in 2016), and another 14 percent consider their skills "adequate." Just 2 percent said their tech skills are "below average," and not one person identified as "incompetent." Those findings came out of Campus Technology's second annual Teaching with Technology Survey, in which we asked faculty how they feel about tech in the classroom, where they go for IT support and more.
