CONVENIENCE, CONNECTION, AND CONTROL (EDUCAUSE)
Among the findings of this ECAR study is that students
prefer to take classes that use a moderate amount of
technology and they highly rate those technologies which
enable them to communicate with faculty. Students said the
greatest asset of technology was the convenience it afforded
them; only 12% said its most valuable benefit was improved
learning. Course management systems continue to be used
extensively, although the study found that the features that
students consider most beneficial to learning are least used
by faculty.
