A study of the ICT freedoms and facilities available to HE Students

Introduction and aims of the study

    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.
   


The information used in this survey has been taken directly form prospectuses, information from university admissions staff and the opinions of students. Ultralab cannnot be held responsible for any misinformation, regarding universities ICT facilities, support, access or freedoms.
