Faculty members and IT staff members agree that technology is useful for teaching and learning, but professors take a narrower view of what technology belongs in the classroom according to a report released today by CDW-G. Of faculty members surveyed, 83% said technology was essential or useful for student learning, and over 60% said they used electronic materials for teaching–the most popular tools being e-textbooks and online documents. Under 25% of faculty used wikis or blogs, and only 31% found online collaboration tools “essential,” compared with 72% of IT employees.Source: The Chronicle of Higher Education
