Evaluating community needs regarding the DLE at W&M
In February 2022, W&M Information Technology (IT) and the Studio for Teaching & Learning Innovation (STLI) partnered to explore and evaluate William & Mary’s current and aspirational DLE. This collaboration builds on the first DLE study conducted in 2017 and aims to inform a university-wide approach to adopting digital tools and resources such as our learning management systems or academic technologies. The goal is to leverage a diverse working group of STLI, IT and faculty members to generate data from multiple sources across campus. Using surveys, focus groups, tool use data, and instructional cases, we will better understand what should be in our DLE to support the academic mission of William & Mary.
