Students' expectations and experiences of the digital environment. This study, commissioned by the Jisc co-design programme under the student innovation strand (August-October 2013), looked at what we know about students' expectations and experiences of ICT at university. Developments in mobile technology, web and social media trends, and the widespread use of technology in schools are all changing the expectations of arriving students. At the same time the graduate employment market is generating new demands on the curriculum and changing the skills required of recent graduates. Universities often feel caught between the need to provide robust systems for all, and the need to accommodate a diversity of devices, services and subject-specific innovations. 1.

This report presents findings from a national study of the relationship between different uses of educational technology and various educational outcomes. Data were drawn from the 1996 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in mathematics, consisting of national samples of 6,227 fourth graders and 7,146 eighth graders. Data include information on the frequency of computer use for mathematics in school, access to computers at home and in school, professional development of mathematics teachers in computer use, and the kinds of instructional uses of computers in the schools.
The study finds that the greatest inequities in computer use are not in how often they are used, but in the ways in which they are used. Poor, urban, and rural students are less likely to be exposed to higher order uses of computers than nonpoor and suburban students. Blending problem-based learning with Web te...
