It’s that time of year again when we get to hear directly from faculty, boots-on-the-ground feedback from faculty on their biggest barriers & successes. Enter, the third annual Cengage Higher Education Faces of Faculty report. 1,355 faculty holding various positions at nearly 600 institutions across North America shared what it’s like to teach in higher education today. Unsurprisingly, generative AI has drastically changed the way faculty teach and the way students learn. But, while optimism about AI is on the rise, many faculty are struggling to fully embrace it without clear administrative guidelines in place. Another finding that caught my eye: faculty are burnt out on email support from their institutions but are lacking in support in other formats like financial reimbursement, tech solutions and committees. Providing the right resources isn’t merely enough. It’s providing them at the right time in the right way. But I won’t spoil the rest! Here’s the full white paper, it’s a great read: https://bit.ly/3Zzpaep
