Faculty Response to Classroom Use of E-Technology

Some of us are still wrestling with the question of how we can encourage and support faculty in the use of instructional technology. Faculty members are individuals with varying needs and desires, but they often resist becoming involved in situations that might reveal gaps in their knowledge or make them seem dependent on less-credentialed people. We examine several different faculty profiles in the context of their own expectations of those of students, and suggest ways of providing motivation and support in a nonthreatening manner.
