Description of the Project:
This CMU technology survey was conducted to find out the current situation of using technology for instruction by faculty. Many issues are addressed in the survey, including the use of technology, the awareness of CMU technology availability, the participation of workshop, development of web site and the purposes, the difficulty faced when using technology, the priority issues and policy issues and so on. Here is the complete CMU Technology Survey Instrument.

The data used for this demonstration project is a small part of the whole data set.

The items are:

bullet

Q2: Faculty Rank Classification.

bullet

Q5: How often do you use your office computer.

bullet

Q10: How often you use your home computer for university related activities.
