CAITL VisionThe Laureate CAITL will be a model environment
where LIU faculty and educational administrators will explore professional development opportunities in order to innovate, enliven, and develop teaching skills that enhance learning through the LIU network. CAITL will be dedicated to both supporting high levels of faculty academic achievement and fostering partnerships between LIU by providing educational opportunities and training for our faculty members. CAITL will be seen as a facilitator who will provide a repository of exemplars and best practices in faculty development training and resources which may help educational endeavors of each university within the LIU.

Technology Importance: Administrators and Faculty Compared
Administrators see video possibilities as one of the most important educational technologies, yet Needs Assessment surveys (pilot and final) placed it in 5th place.
One interesting detail is that data revealed that the use of Wikis(3rd) and Blogs(5th) are seen as important educational technologies by administrators, but faculty did not give these technologies the same importance. (Final Survey: Wiki – 15th, Blogs18th; Pilot Survey: Blog 15th, Wiki 9th)

This table compares the top five technology importance ratings as responded by administrators. It compares these top technologies with the “No skill” level from faculty needs assessment (final version). Faculty training could be directed towards the top technologies and towards that “No Skill” group.

Technology Importance/Skill: Comparing Administrators and Faculty
Video is seen as an important educational technology, but (Spanish/English) Needs Assessment reveal that more than half of the faculty are at the “No skill level” (51.5% and 69.0% respectively).
Similar findings repeat for Wikis, Blogs,, CMS/LMS and Outlook; all considered important by administrators, but with a high percentage of faculty rating themselves at the “No Skill” level.
