EDUCAUSE Centre for Applied Research has released a new report (.pdf) on undergraduate students and technology. The outcome isn't particularly surprising: students use technology. Reading a few of the chapters (it's a 124 page report), I'm pleased to see traditional institutions are taking note of what's happening, and we're building a base of data on which to make decisions. Chapter 2 of the report, however, basically says what edubloggers have been saying for five plus years. At least the message is getting out. See also the slashdot discussion.
Posted by gsiemens at September 17, 2007 5:08 PM | TrackBackThis article was informative and timely. I'm currently doing a major technology needs analysis and recommendation for my company (Armstrong World Industries). While the information presented deals with higher ed students much of it is applicable to a corporation. Especially taking into account that these students are tomorrows work force.
Thanks for this link!
