The sub-group on improving communication concluded a quick survey on how Langara faculty and staff communicate support services information to students and how we can better improve such communication. Conducted over the recent Faculty PD Days events, participants (total of 37 responses) told us that in-class, email and D2L are the most common avenues by which they communicate student services and events to their students.
When asked how the College can make it easier for participants to find out about what student events and services exist for communicating to students, email was the most frequently cited option. Other feedback generated from this question includes a centralized online site and a need to easily re-distribute the information to students online. One participant who self-identified as a new faculty member, indicated that he/she is unaware of what’s available. The sub-group is now working with other partners on campus to develop a campus wide online calendar and a student support survival Guide for faculty.
