Teaching & Learning Center Benchmarks
The study presents data and commentary from directors of 40 teaching and learning centers at colleges and universities primarily in the USA. The report gives detailed benchmarking data on budgets, personnel, salaries, mission priorities, outreach to faculty, administration and students, and much more. One special point of emphasis is how Centers are dealing with the impact of artificial intelligence. The report also gives detailed data on attendance at teaching and learning center hosted or sponsored conferences and seminars, both in-person and online; each survey participant specifies the three most popular topics for such events. In open ended questions, directors give insights into their opinions on a broad range of issues affecting Teaching & Learning Centers and discuss their plans for the future.
Just a few of this 92-page report’s many findings are that:
Survey participants spent a mean of 38.96% of their work time on issues connected to instructional design.
Private colleges outspent public colleges nearly 4:1 on compensation for interns and student assistants.
70% of directors of Teaching and Learning Centers in institutions charging a sticker tuition price of more than $43,000 annually earned at least $100,000 annually.
The mean number of conferences staged and designed largely for in-person attendance in the past year was 24.
35% of Center’s in the sample had surveyed academic librarian opinion in the past year.
Data in the report is broken out by numerous institutional variables such as enrollment size, public/private status, college Carnegie class or type, and level of tuition.
