Immediate Observations

Spring ’08 Survey Results – Exhibit 1

Spring ’08 Survey Results – Exhibit 2

Spring ’08 Survey Results – Exhibit 3

“Students immersed in an increasingly digital world are seeking richer and more engaging learning

experiences”

“Instructors are exploring innovative ways to use technology to foster interaction, collaboration, and

excitement for learning”
