We are very satisfied and have aggressively incorporated collaboration
technologies into our delivery systems
We are in the process of expanding collaboration technology
We are not satisfied with our progress in this area and I am actively
investigating our options
I am in the process of defining “collaboration” for our organization- and I’m
kinda of tired of hearing all sales people calling their products
“collaboration”

Where are you in terms of using emerging
technologies into your courses?
I am very satisfied and have incorporated pertinent technologies in
my delivery systems
I can always learn more but I am satisfied

incorporate technologies
This is area that is difficult to stay up on and I am not satisfied
with where we are now
