Parts of the 1998 Campus Computing Project survey
<http://www.campuscomputing.net/> were released this week reporting that
college professors are embracing the Internet as a tool for teaching.
The survey of 571 technology officials at two- and four-year colleges
around the country reports that 44% of college courses use e-mail in some
way -- that number was 32.8% last year and just 8% four years ago.
23% of college courses use Web pages to post class materials and other
resources; four years ago, the figure was less than 5%. About 43% of
respondents said their institutions had a computer competency requirement
for undergraduates; in 1992, the figure was 30%.
Computer ownership among students is up: this year the figure was 42% of
students, more than double the figure five years ago.
The biggest problems faced on campus is still assisting professors to
integrate technology use into the classroom and intellectual property
questions.
