Since 2004, the annual ECAR [EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research] Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology has sought to shed light on how information technology affects the college experience. We ask students about the technology they 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.
Some of the Topics Covered:
+ Student Ownership and Use of Computers
+ Interactive Communication Tools
+ How Students View Their Own Technology Adoption and IT Skills
+ Course or Learning Management Systems
+ Student Perceptions of IT in Courses
+ Undergraduates and the Mobile Revolution
+ Mobile Devices in the Academic Environment
+ Emergency Notification
+ Table of Contents (HTML) (Report by Chapters, PDF)
