Study: students want teachers to use more technology – now
The research arm of Educause (ECAR – Educause Center for Applied Research), a nonprofit that advocates for technology in higher education, has surveyed undergraduate students annually since 2004 about technology in higher education. In 2012, ECAR collaborated with 195 institutions to collect responses from more than 100,000 students about their technology experiences. The findings are distilled into the broad thematic message for institutions and educators to balance strategic innovation with solid delivery of basic institutional services and pedagogical practices and to know students well enough to understand which innovations they value the most.
