Is there a tool in SPARK that you really love? Is there one you can’t imagine ever using? Is there something missing from SPARK that would transform the way you teach? If so, Academic Computing wants to hear from you! We’re holding a focus group on Thursday, March 19, 1:15-2:00, featuring desserts, coffee, and discussion.
The purpose of this focus group is to get your help to shape the future of SPARK. As teaching technologies evolve, we need to know what aspects of SPARK instructors rely on most, what they don’t use, and what they wish it could do, so that we can evaluate upgrades and additions to SPARK. Rather than delve into technical issues and how-tos, this session will focus on what you value most about SPARK and what you would change if you could.

When registering, please use the comments box to let us know how long you have used SPARK, and the typical number of students you have in your SPARK classes. We want to ensure that we hear from a wide range of users. If you can’t make this session, but are interested in giving us your perspective, send us an email. We are also working on a survey that will be available later in March.
