This study looks at who and how often faculty use Zoom, Teams, WebEx. Google Meet and other communications technologies.  The study is designed to help answer questions such as:  how much interaction between faculty members now takes place online rather than in person?  How important are the use of communications technologies in the classroom post pandemic?  How often are such technologies, and which ones, used in interfacing with students in critical non-classroom settings such as meeting with faculty during office hours or career or college advisory functions?  The report gives specific data on the incidence and frequency of monthly use for each program and enables readers to track the type of faculty who are using each program. Discover the age, academic field and type of educational institution of the most likely WebEx user in higher education vs. the same data for Zoom, Teams or Google Meet.
