Teaching with Electronic Technology
The World Wide Web sites collected on this page reflect the considerable variety of uses for computing and related forms of electronic technology in teaching. They are arranged in no strict order, but tend to proceed from rather general and theoretical resources to some instructive examples of specific applications of technology to teaching and learning. Like many other web sites, this one changes and grows as I find time to revise and update these links. I am grateful to those who have made suggestions, corrections, and introduced me to additional resources.

Are We Assuming Too Much? Exploring Students' Perceptions of Their Computer Competence
The reported experience, comfort level, and perceived skill of 233 students in a medium-size midwestern university were measured to determine how best to approach the use of information technology within departmental curricula. Results show that students view their computer competence differently depending on whether they are using the technology for personal or course-related tasks. Additionally, while the expressed levels of experience and comfort are high for some forms of technology, exposure and confidence with more advanced applications are lacking. Such findings suggest that faculty members may make false assumptions about student preparedness and, in turn, may jeopardize student success. Differences by gender and race/ethnicity also were observed, suggesting that departments need to be aware of the varied experiences of their students. Get it from the PSU Library

Using Technology in Education: When and Why, Not How
It is argued that discussion of technology in college teaching commonly focuses on how to use it, while the important issues are when and why it is appropriate. Reasons for using technology are outlined, relating widely accepted goals in instructional development (improvement of communication, access to information, and effective presentation of materials) to technologies that can help address them.
