Student Experiences with Information Technology and Their Relationship to Other Aspects of Student Engagement
Laird, Thomas F. Nelson; Kuh, George D.
Research in Higher Education, v46 n2 p211-233 Mar 2005
Colleges and universities have made considerable effort to get students to use information technology productively. This study uses data from the 2003 administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to investigate the relationships between student uses of information technology and other forms of student engagement. There appears to be a strong positive relationship between using information technology for educational purposes and involvement in effective educational practices such as active and collaborative learning and student-faculty interaction. The results also point to the prospect that particular areas of involvement with information technology could be viewed as forms of engagement in and of themselves. In addition, when students use information technology it may increase their opportunities for other types of engagement.
