Educause's Technology Research

ECAR infographicEducause Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) has published its findings about students' use of technology. The survey instrument asked undergraduates about their experience with individual devices, school technologies, learning environments, and personal preferences. More than 75,000 students and 1,700 faculty members in 13 countries participated.

ECAR produced several resources to explain the findings:

 Discussion Starters:

  • Which of the three resources (report, infographic, and PPT) do you find most accessible? Easiest to understand? Most comprehensive? Best organized?
  • Of the survey results, what do you find most and interesting? Most and least surprising?
  • Analyze the report. Consider the audience, organization, writing style, graphics, and so on. What works well, and what could be improved?
