Survey Shows STEM Faculty Remain Optimistic Despite Multiple Barriers to Online Teaching - OLC

The survey found that 73% of respondents converted from face-to-face to remote learning for the Fall 2020 term, yet more than a third had no prior online experience. There were some significant differences in faculty perceptions of how the pandemic impacted access to education for underserved students, students with disabilities, and by race, ethnicity, or sex. Differences were noted between faculty by gender across institutions, as well as with faculty at primarily minority-serving institutions compared to non-minority serving institutions. The full details were presented on November 5, 2021, as a poster at the AAC&U Transforming STEM Higher Education Conference.
