NOAA Multimedia Needs Assessment
NOAA recognizes that educators and students are using more live and on demand multimedia content to learn about ocean, atmospheric, climate, and related STEM topics, as well as access education and pedagogic resources and training. In developing multimedia and distance learning materials that convey NOAA’s science, service and stewardship, NOAA must ensure that these resources meet the needs of educators and students across the United States.

To achieve this goal, we need your help.

This short - less than 3 min. - survey will help NOAA identify the types of multimedia content that interests you for use with your students/audiences, as well as your own professional development. Your participation is voluntary, and your answers are completely anonymous.

While answering the following questions, please think about your current teaching activities rather than prior to or during the height of the pandemic.

Thank you for your time.
