The folks at the University of Minnesota have published results from technology surveys they conducted. They regularly survey both thestudent and faculty populations at that institution, and the results from the 2007 student survey are now available. (My recollection is that they survey faculty recently as well, but those results aren’t up yet.)
A few highlights below; keep in mind that U of Minn has been identified by NC State as a peer institution.
1. Students are experienced in their use of technology, but not sophisticated.
2. Students print a lot.
3. Students strongly support use of significant levels of technology in the classroom.
4. Gender differences exist.
NC State collects some data on this front, but not comprehensively and from this perspective. There are data collection efforts through ITD, the Instructional Services unit in DELTA, LITRE, and FCTL. It would be great to see more collaboration, which may actually be happening through the LITRE assessment group.
