Classroom Technology Feedback Devices for Faculty

In the Fall 2026 semester, the University will be introducing Happy-or-NotTM feedback button devices in 360 classrooms as part of our continued efforts to better understand and enhance the classroom experience at the University of Miami.

These devices are for faculty use only and allow faculty to provide quick, one-touch feedback on your classroom technology experience at the end of any session. The goal is to capture high-level, faculty sentiment in a simple and unobtrusive way.

When you should use the Happy-or-NotTM buttons:

Faculty – At the end of your class session, select the option that reflects your experience:

Cards

Positive Experience?

  • Classroom technology worked as expected.
  • No disruptions impacted your session.
  • The experience was smooth and effective.

Press the green (happy) button.

Challenging Experience?

  • You experienced technical issues or disruptions.
  • Something did not work as expected.
  • The session did not go as planned.

Press the red button (or another that best fits).

This tool is designed to capture overall experience with classroom technology—not to resolve issues in real time.

Responses do not generate support tickets, alerts, or follow-up actions. If you experience an issue that requires assistance, please continue using the existing classroom support processes.

Happy-or-NotTM feedback will be reviewed periodically to identify trends and inform future classroom technology improvements.

If you have questions about this initiative, please contact Dacia Simpson, Executive Director, Audio-Visual Infrastructure & Classroom Management (OCM), at simpsond@miami.edu.
