United University Professions is committed to determining the effects of distance and online education on union members and their workloads. To that end, UUP is conducting a web survey to examine distance and online learning on SUNY campuses. The link to the Technology Issues Survey can be found on the left-hand side of the UUP home page at www.uupinfo.org. “We want members to take the survey on distance learning so that we can get an accurate and comprehensive picture of this issue and its effect on our membership,” said UUP?President Phil Smith. “Be assured that all information is confidential; no ISP addresses will be collected; and no identifying information will appear in any public document or be shared.” The five-page, online survey—which includes drop-down menus to make it easier to complete—asks for demographic information from respondents, as well as specific information about the type and availability of distance learning courses. Respondents are asked if participation in distance learning or online teaching on their campus is optional and/or based on seniority, and how members may benefit academically from its use. Other questions deal with copyright laws, intellectual property rights, workload, tech and other support, compensation, and course content. — Karen L. Mattison
