Horizons Project Description
There
is concern that many Students are joining Universities with real ICT skills,
developed either at home or through their education. Our hypotheses were
that at best these abilities are curbed by a limited programme of ICT skills
development and at worst, restricted by a dearth of facilities or the imposition
of rules of use of the technology.
Given this context the aims of this study were to:
- explore the response of universities to their students' capabilities and needs with ICT,
- establish the freedoms of use of the ICT equipment in UK Universities, and
- assess the importance with which ICT was regarded.
