Survey of US Higher Education Faculty 2023, Use of Streamed Video

A plurality of 39.45% noted that they were using it about as much as during the pandemic while 32% said that they had never used it, during or post pandemic; 15.31% said they were using it less than in the midst of the pandemic, 10.34%, more.

33% of faculty under age 30 said they were using it more, as were 17.65% of faculty earning less than $50,000 annually. Among Black faculty, 21.74% said that they were using it more than during the pandemic. By academic field, faculty in performing arts and education were the most likely to use streamed video more than they had during the pandemic, possibly suggesting that some faculty in these areas discovered their use during the pandemic and increased it post pandemic, as their pre-pandemic use seems sporadic.

This study looks closely at how 725 randomly chosen US higher education faculty are using streamed video, predominantly from the academic library. It helps its readers to answer questions such as: which faculty are using streamed video in the classroom? For research purposes? And to what extent? How satisfied are they with the current offerings and how easy is it for them to access collections and integrate them into their classes or research? In response to an open ended question, survey participant discuss what they expect and need from library streamed video services.

Data in the report is broken out by 12 personal and institutional variables including size, type or Carnegie class, tuition level and public/private status of the participant’s affiliated institutions, as well as personal characteristics such as academic field, tenure status, academic title, gender, income and other variables.
