Abstract

A longitudinal extension of the 2004 and 2005 ECAR studies of students and information technology, this 2006 EDUCAUSE Technology Research in the Academic Community study is based on quantitative data from nearly 29,000 freshman and senior students at 96 higher education institutions. It focuses on what kinds of information technologies today's students are using, with what levels of skill they are using them, how IT use contributes to the undergraduate experience, and what value the use of IT adds in terms of learning.
