[AISWorld] How does your university support faculty ...

[Laurie Schatzberg]

... in (any of) the 20+ endeavors noted below?

Hello colleagues,
I'm on a committee here at the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque, NM (USA) charged with making recommendations for how we can better support faculty teaching virtually; i.e., teaching courses that are online in whole or in part.  This undertaking is within the context of a larger initiative to support faculty teaching with emerging technology.  Faculty across campus explore and experiment and collaborate in ad hoc ways, and we think it would be good to increase the successful matches between pedagogical needs and instructional technologies of all types.

We have an excellent team, increasingly stretched too far, who provides support for courses taught completely online.  We have less support for hybrid (partly online) and even less support for face-to-face courses enhanced with technology.

I'd welcome your email replies briefly describing if/how your university supports (any of) the many functions listed below.  I'll provide a summary of the results back to the list.  Many thanks for your help.
