Technology is burning out faculty, survey shows - Colin Wood, EdScoop

The report, published last week by the innovation arm of Western Governors University, polled 359 faculty members from colleges and universities, most of whom reported that they expect more edtech to be used in their classrooms. But less than a third of respondents reported belief that changes in the classroom were “heading in the right direction.” This broad concern included a belief held by 58% of respondents that technologies would lead to faculty having less autonomy in designing courses. Forty-one percent reported burnout and 79% reported they were constantly “on the job” because of technology.
