Hi everyone,
I just returned from a really great conference focused on teaching in higher-ed: The Teaching Professor Conference. If you are looking for professional development that focuses on teaching (not so much technology), then this is one I highly recommend.

It's a great start, but as with other tools, we would like to be able to adapt it for multiple needs. Additional notes from Friday's meeting are posted at http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/learningdesign/node/278.
Since editing during the discussion was taking longer than anticipated, we decided to take the rest of the discussion off-line and form mini-groups to look at different sections of the survey to see if any changes might be needed.
