Study Shows Impact of Web Technology on Higher Ed The latest results of a four-year study by McGraw-Hill on the impact of Web technology on higher ed institutions confirmed that Web-based technology is helping instructors achieve teaching objectives and has a positive impact on student attitudes and achievement. In 1999, only 22 percent of faculty participants viewed technology as very or extremely important for achieving success; in 2002, figures rose to 57 percent. The survey indicates that technology has increased dramatically in terms of importance, with 68 percent of respondents rating training and professional development as very or extremely important and 60 percent assigning a high level of importance to course Web site use in achieving teaching objectives.
