I’m sitting in a session being presented by Brad Cohen, Asst Director and Coordinator for Curriculum Development at University of Minnesota.
They’ve done a couple of intensive surveys regarding use of technology by a) students and b) faculty. Looking for the link, can’t find it but will post it later.
Some quick notes for now:
– Students are experienced but not sophicsticated users of technology.
– Students have strongly positive attitudes toward the use of technology in their eductation
– Students favor media rich and efficient uses of technology
– Students’ third most rquested use of funds is to pay for faculty development for tech
– Faculty: number one barrier to using tech is time.
