Very interesting survey on differences between students and faculty on the use of technology
DENVER -- Professors think they are doing reasonably well when it comes to using technology in
the classroom, according to a survey released here this week by CDW-G at the annual meeting of
Educause. Not everyone agrees with the faculty view of things.
Consider these statistics from nationally representative samples of students and faculty members
(at two- and four-year institutions, public and private). Asked about their use and their institutions'
support for technology, professors said the following:
75 percent said that their institution "understands how they use or want to use technology."
67 percent are happy with their own technology professional development.
74 percent said that they incorporate technology into every class or almost every class.
64 percent said that they teach in what they consider to be a smart classroom.
Sounds like a technology savvy professoriate. But when students were asked whether their
professors understand technology and have integrated it into their courses, only 38 percent said
Yes. Further, when students were asked about the top impediment to using technology, the top
answer was "lack of faculty technology knowledge," an answer that drew 45 percent of respondents,
up from 25 percent only a year ago.
And only 32 percent of students said that they believed their college was adequately preparing them
