ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology

As usual, the report looks at “the technology [students] own and how they use it in and out of their academic world. We gather information about how skilled students believe they are with technologies; how they perceive technology is affecting their learning experience; and their preferences for IT in courses.” This year’s report includes a special look at students’ use of handheld, Internet-capable devices such as cell phones and smart phones.
