Suggestion: Fill it out before midnight

If you are a faculty member, you probably got the email below asking you to fill out an online survey of priorities for teaching assistance (with a deadline of midnight tonight). Yours truly is a great believer in priorities and I think the priority nowadays should be in the realm of use of technology. I filled out the survey consistent with that objective.

Dear Faculty Member,

As the Acting Co-Directors of OID, we are committed to support teaching excellence at UCLA. In line with this commitment, we have developed a survey to gather your input on various services and supports that impact teaching—including consultations, training, funding, assessment, and technology. This survey should take about five minutes to complete. You may complete it anonymously, although you will have the option to provide contact information if you wish to participate in a follow-up interview.

Please take a moment to complete this brief survey at your earliest convenience: {I am omitting the survey's address since only instructional faculty are eligible to fill it out; email me daniel.j.b.mitchell@anderson.ucla.edu for the address if you don't have it.} Survey responses will inform our efforts to enhance instructional support at UCLA, and we very much appreciate your feedback! The deadline to submit your response is 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, January 31st.

If you have already completed a survey, please disregard this announcement.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at director@oid.ucla.edu.

Sincerely,

Professor Kathleen Komar and Robert Gibson, Ph.D.
Acting Co-Directors
Office of Instructional Development
