    6. Undergraduate Demographics Respondents 648 Average Age 22 Gender 39% male 61% female

    7. Finding Support for technology facilities and services is high

    8. Faculty Quote “Labs are everywhere, they’re all over the place, they’re readily available, and they’re economical to use. So I can freely give assignments and have projects and homework that require a computer now and students can go and do them.”

    9. Finding Strong interest in Web-based tools

    10. Online Portfolios Which of the following educational technologies would like instructors to use in your courses? 50% Online Portfolios 46% Computer simulations 38% Streaming Videos 26% Instant messaging 14% Video Conferencing

    11. Finding Wireless in classrooms will increase laptop use during class sessions

    12. Laptop Ownership

    13. Laptops in Classrooms

    14. Undergraduate Quote “The things that will make wireless really powerful will be new applications that begin to use that connectivity to do new things”

    15. Finding Correlation between gender and tech skills

    16. Expertise by Group

    17. Expertise by Gender

    18. Finding Undergraduates use more types of technology for academic purposes than faculty do

    19. Academic Use of IM

    20. Finding Faculty want better access to technology in classrooms

    21. Opportunities to Use Technology The UW should provide more opportunities to use educational technologies 73% agree How? #1: Improve access to technology in classrooms

    22. Faculty Quote “Most lecture halls are equipped with the appropriate technology, but most smaller classrooms are not. If you invest the time to use technology in a 50-person class and don’t know if you are going to get the same classroom every year, the significant cost of transformation may not pay off in the event that you do not get an equipped classroom again.”

    23. Finding Undergraduates want course materials available online

    24. The UW Should Require all Courses to have Web Sites

    25. Undergraduate Quote “Something that would help support my learning would be having more information about a course online, especially requiring professors to put a syllabus on a Web site. It would be nice to look on the teacher’s Web site and see all the assignments. That would be fantastic.”

    26. Finding Teaching assistants and graduate students that do not teach have different attitudes towards technology

    27. Demographics Graduate Students Respondents 286 Average Age 32 Gender 39% male 61% female Teaching Assistants Respondents 411 Average Age 29 Gender 44% male 56% female

    28. The UW should Provide Guidance in Building Online Portfolios
