Are New Technologies Influencing the Academic Results Achieved by Students? An Exploratory Study
Gargallo-Castel, Ana; Esteban-Salvador, Luisa; Marzo-Navarro, Mercedes
Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, v11 n3 p32-49 Jul 2010
The purpose of this study is to analyze the application of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) within tertiary education in a Spanish University. We analyze the results of a new initiative developed by the University of Zaragoza through an innovative project for a virtual campus called "Anillo Digital Docente." Data relating to the degree of WebCT's use is analyzed, as well as the academic results achieved by the students using it. These results are compared with the results achieved by other students studying in a traditional teaching setting. Several conclusions are drawn from this comparison: firstly, on how effective these technologies are within regulated university education; and secondly, on how beneficial the extension of its application would be to other educational areas.
