title = "A 2010 snapshot of educational technology use by CSU students",
abstract = "Ensuring an excellent learning experience is critical for the modern Australasian university. This is particularly important for an institution like CSU, which has the majority of its students studying at a distance. This paper presents a snapshot of student usage and attitudes towards technologies for learning and teaching, drawing on an institution wide online questionnaire in 2010 completed by 3952 students. One of the most interesting findings from this study is that students{\textquoteright} use of educational technologies may be driven primarily by the need for their studies to be flexible and manageable around work and family demands. Students appear to be {\textquoteleft}digital followers{\textquoteright} rather than early adopters but are nevertheless very regular users of technologies in their own lives, and appear very receptive to the frequent use of technologies in their studies.",
