- Abstract
Today's undergraduate students are unique for having grown up in a digital society. An emerging body of empirical research has attempted to understand how young people use technology in the academic context. Our research involved 111 students enrolled in 7 courses in the College of Education at a Mid-Atlantic university, and sought to understand college students' comfort level with, and the perceived benefits of, a variety of technologies for their academic study. Results indicated a significant relationship between the perceived benefit of a particular technology, and college/discipline, skill level, and frequency of use. Implications for the design of technology-supported learning opportunities in pre-service teacher education are discussed.
