Achieving Teaching Success: How CELT Can Support You
|
In June 2018, the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) invited stakeholders to complete a short survey about the importance of and satisfaction with CELT programs, resources, and services.
To begin analysis we used the WordItOut web-based tool to create a word cloud based upon responses to the question, “What three words would you use to describe CELT?.” The tool created an image that gives visual prominence to words that appear more frequently in a text. The word cloud used responses that were gathered three or more times with the larger words receiving over 20 responses included: Helpful, Resource, Supportive, and Innovative.
