Are you overwhelmed, exhausted, or frustrated with educational technology? Do you feel burned out from the options and having to constantly keep up with changes? You might be suffering from technostress. Learn what we heard from faculty and staff about their experiences with stress caused by technology use, how it contributes to their feelings of burnout, and the impact it has on their current and future technology use in their work. Audience members will learn about the dimensions of technostress, understand how burnout and technostress are related, and strategize about prevention and recovery. Institutions interested in creating a technology-rich environment might find the relationship between technology use and these factors important to maintain quality and effective teaching, engaged learning practices, and return on technology investment.
