"Understanding the rapidly changing student experience with educational technology requires research that is broad in scope, rigorous in implementation, and patient in its commitment to taking the long view. The ECAR series of student surveys has all of this and is essential to understanding where our students are coming from, where they are now, and where they're going."

─ J.D. Walker, Research Fellow, Educational Technology Services, University of Minnesota

Technology is a critical part of students’ learning environments—this is true for traditional brick-and-mortar classrooms as well as e-learning settings. This annual study explores technology ownership, use patterns, and perceptions of technology among higher education undergraduate students. Because of the importance of this topic, ECAR makes this study publicly accessible upon release.
