Most people felt that while the college is not an extremely homophobic environment in which to study, teach or work, DVC still has a long way to go before it s a comfortable place to be gay. All agreed that it s time to form a group that will work toward a better educational and employment climate for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender faculty, staff and students. Heterosexual faculty spoke of the importance of supporting their gay and lesbian friends, colleagues and students. We ll have to prioritize, and we ll need a lot of help. The DVC Learning Styles Survey developed by Catherine Jester is now available as an automatically scored survey on the web.
Participants fill out an on-line form, and submit their answers.
Scores are automatically calculated and returned on a web page together with a description of the preferred learning style and associated learning strategies. The whole process takes just a few minutes. Students will be able to take the survey at home or work if they have web access or in one of our computer labs. Please alert your colleagues that it is available. Student scores are also stored in a database so we will be able to gather data over time for possible research.
