“Post more lectures online, so when I’m studying or gone traveling for academics, I

can watch and learn from the lecture.”

“A lot of my professors this semester already do this, but it is really helpful when they post assignments ahead of time on Canvas or send us messages/emails.”

“Receive training on how to use Canvas face to face as well as online videos they can refer back to that is well organized and easy to understand. There are tons of great tools not being used by faculty because they don’t have support from the university to know how to use it.”

“I think it’s important that the instructors know how to use the technology they expect us to use. It’s frustrating to not be able to submit assignments or complete homework because something was uploaded improperly or some kind of technology issue.”

“Use Canvas correctly and to its full capacity. Put grades in, link assignments correctly, use the calendar function.”

I’ve noticed in some classes I wasn’t able to get half of the notes down from that day and made me struggle on future assignments and tests.”

“Although I understand the struggles that some students face when using technology as a learning tool, I believe that students who best learn by using a lap top or other computer based note taking system should have full access to that. Additionally, having lecture material available online during lectures can help students remain engaged and following along.”

“Students should be allowed to use labtops if that is the way they learn best. I understand there is a line to be drawn with being respectful, but not everyone is messing around on their labtop or phone. Some are actually learning.”

“Post lectures online, even if it’s just before the exam. Some professors don’t post them to encourage attendance, which I get but relistening to lectures is a really helpful study tool for me.”

I realize that could be a lot to ask but I personally can’t think of anything else to enhance academic success through technology.”

“I don’t know if one exists but a program to help students who can’t afford a laptop get one. I personally know some students who don’t have access to a laptop, and my laptop is a tremendous help whether it be for note taking or looking stuff up in class to better understand.”

“Some institutions provide laptops/tablets to incoming freshman. I know this could be expensive but relative to the cost of tuition probably not that much. Could be an idea.”

“The ability to purchase a laptop for a reasonable price has had the greatest positive impact on my academic work. I am not sure how I could have had as much success as I have had if I did not have access to my personal laptop.”

“My laptop...there is not a day that goes by in college where I do not use my laptop. It allows me to take my written notes and order them nicely online, and I can write papers while also having access to a multitude of other different resources.”

“My laptop. It allows me to do research, type papers, and complete online homework. Also some classes have an online book which is great for when you forget your book or just don’t want to carry around multiple heavy books all day.”

Tenpercent(10%)ofrespondentsreportthattheuniversity’slearningmanagementsystem(Canvas)hashadthegreatestpositiveimpactontheiracademicwork.

“Canvas because I usually work late at night and I prefer online midnight due dates to in-class in-person due dates.

”Canvas as a whole is a pretty great program. At 39 yrs old, I can be just a bit behind the technology curve compared to the average freshman or sophomore (18-20 yrs of age, roughly), so I have found that Canvas is especially user friendly. I’ve also found a lot of success with specific programs that Canvas “sub-contracts”, such as Sapling and Cengage. All very user friendly and highly navigable for a non-traditional student of an older demographic.”

“Being able to do and submit my homework online on Canvas or through email has been very helpful to keep me organized. When Canvas is used properly, it is very helpful to be able to see my grades, find my assignments and readings, etc.”

Research Prospectus

EDUCAUSE Research in the Academic Communities

Student Technology Study 2019 2019 Research Prospectus

I. Project Overview Technology is a critical part of the teaching and learning mission—as well as the research mission—of higher education. Since 2004, the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) has been researching undergraduate student technology experiences and expectations. In 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2019 ECAR expanded its research on perspectives on technology in higher education to investigate faculty technology experiences. The scope of the EDUCAUSE Technology Research in the Academic Community (ETRAC) work includes surveying undergraduate students annually with a base survey, supplemented with thematic sections designed to explore contemporary higher education IT issues. Taking the opportunity to expand the scope of populations studied in this type of research every other year allows EDUCAUSE to tell a broader story about the status and efficacy of technology in higher education.

This research is survey based. In conjunction with subject-matter experts (SMEs) who offer a diversity of perspectives, EDUCAUSE develops the survey instrumentation and establishes research methodology before partnering with individual institutions to invite members of their respective academic communities to participate in the surveys. Our surveys ask respondents to share their current technology experiences, needs, and expectations about technology and IT issues at their campus. The results of these studies can be combined to provide multidimensional perspectives of these stakeholders’ technology experiences.

The undergraduate student study explores technology ownership, use patterns, and expectations as they relate to the undergraduate student experience.

Research Objectives

The purpose of ETRAC is to understand the technology, experiences, needs, and expectations of academic community members and stakeholders and to help higher education IT professionals and decision makers use IT to advance the institution. This project looks at perceptions of IT from the outside to help IT leaders and IT services professionals:

● Improve IT services ● Increase technology-enabled productivity ● Prioritize strategic contributions of IT to higher education ● Plan for technology shifts among the various constituencies of the academic community

54

2

● Become more technologically competitive among peer institutions ● Catalyze new business models and/or strategic initiatives around technology use and adoption

to transform higher education in innovative ways

II. Research Methodology This study consists of a web-based quantitative survey of undergraduate students from different types of higher education institutions. EDUCAUSE develops the survey instruments for undergraduate students in the academic community (aligned with the project’s research objectives), and locally assigned survey administrators at our partner institutions administer the survey to their community. The data are centrally collected in a secure, cloud-based repository that is only available to authorized EDUCAUSE researchers.

General Timeline

● Prior to the 2018 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference: Resource materials and the “intent to participate” form made available

● Mid-August 2018 through mid-January 2019: Survey development and programming ● EDUCAUSE Annual Conference through March 2019: Survey invitation window open for

participation in the next round of studies (formal invitations sent to all EDUCAUSE primary representatives plus past survey administrators)

● January to April 2019: Data collection—survey deployed at participating institutions ● May through September 2019: Data analysis and report writing ● Fall 2019: Report released

III. Form Factors/Deliverables in 2019

● Research hub ● Reports ● Survey instrument ● Slide deck ● Infographic

Participating Institutions Only Specific institution-based results and comparative (anonymous) peer benchmarks will be shared with participating institutions. For each study in which an institution participates, the institution will receive access to the following:

● Raw data files of de-identified (anonymous) survey responses ● Aggregated summative data and comparative benchmarking data from (anonymized) peer

institutions to each participating institution

V. Dissemination/Marketing Plan The audience for this work is broad and includes people both inside and outside higher education IT. Below is a partial list of potential audiences:

● Information Technology leaders ● Teaching & Learning leaders ● Institutional Research professionals ● Higher education press ● Technology researchers ● Vendors of technology products ● Librarians ● Faculty professional development providers

Dissemination plans beyond the traditional EDUCAUSE systems are TBD but will include:

● Posting a research hub on the EDUCAUSE website and announcing the publication of the 2019 studies

● Hosting an E-Live! webinar to share final results ● Presenting the results at the 2019 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, the EDUCAUSE Learning

Initiative (ELI) Annual Meeting, and at least one national non-EDUCAUSE conference ● Publishing reports on aggregated summative data and focused themes in EDUCAUSE and non-

EDUCAUSE venues

VI. Risks/Contingency Plan There are minimal risks associated with these studies. Participation is voluntary.

VII. Subject Consent By responding to the survey, respondents will be giving their consent to participate (see project website for full details about informed consent: http://www.educause.edu/ecar/about-ecar/technology- research-academic-community). Individuals under the age of consent will not be allowed to participate. Data are collected only via the survey. Responses to the survey questions will be maintained in an

56

4

anonymized research data set, available to authorized EDUCAUSE researchers.

Participating institutions will receive their participants’ anonymized responses.

Risks for the implementation of these studies are minimal because this is an annual iteration of an established study. EDUCAUSE no longer requires explicit IRB approval to participate in ETRAC. This research has been granted exemption through Quorum Review IRB on the basis of the following condition:

• Research conducted in established or commonly accepted educational settings, involving normal educational practices, such as (i) research on regular and special education instructional strategies, or (ii) research on the effectiveness of or the comparison among instructional techniques, curricula, or classroom management methods.

Some institutions may continue to seek IRB approval on their own. EDUCAUSE therefore provides adequate time for institutions to secure IRB approval, as well as all necessary resource materials about the studies to institutions in order to facilitate institutional IRB approval.
