Comparing Microsoft Office to Google Products One of the questions IT had, was whether faculty felt they could effectively use Google Products (i.e., Docs, Sheets, Slides) in lieu of Microsoft Office Products (i.e., Word, Excel, Powerpoint). A survey was created, 422 responses. Most had heard of these Google products. A large majority indicated they use Microsoft Office products for teaching, research, service and administrative duties. While most indicated they could use Google Products for service-related duties instead, most also indicated that Google Products would not be sufficient for teaching, research, and to a lesser extent, administrative-type duties. (see annual report for graphs and details regarding this survey).
Remote Teaching Challenges In May, ARCC worked in conjunction with IT, WSU Online, and the coronavirus task force to put together a survey assessing faculty needs, thoughts, and preferences regarding remote/online teaching. ARCC s section focused on IT-related needs. The following slides contain the key results. These results were shared with IT, included campus technology consultants. IT worked very hard to acquire additional resources over the summer to meet faculty and student needs.
Biggest Challenge (could indicate more than one) Other Not knowing how to design engaging online activities Lack of a quiet space to work General lack of interactions with colleagues General lack of interactions with student Lack of "hands on" instruction abilities Lack of sufficient internet access Lack of appropriate computer software Lack of appropriate computer hardware 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Percent Indicating this Challenge
