The survey found that students use technologies like social media, smartphones, and laptops extensively in their personal lives. While some tools like email and the LMS are widely used for studying, students expressed more interest in using additional technologies like online document sharing, virtual worlds, and mobile devices for learning in the future. The results indicate a shift toward more online and mobile technologies for learning, communication, and administration, though traditional tools also remain important.

- 1. Students have a say in how they want to use technology to support their learning Dr Michael Sankey Director, Learning Environments and Media Professor Belinda Tynan PVC Learning, Teaching and Quality
- 2. Introduction The evolving opportunities technological change provides requires the frequent evolution of services to facilitate engaged learning. The resources and costs involved need to be carefully weighed up against the potential benefits of the affordances. To provide an evidence-based approach to planning USQ recently conducted a multidimensional survey to understand how students’ use and expectations of technologies for both life and study. The technologies surveyed included, institutional systems (email, LMS), Web2.0 technologies (social networking, shared spaces) and personal devices. This presentation provides some initial findings and reflects on some implications for emerging learning environments for ‘todays’ student.
- 4. Some assumptions Lots of students use Facebook, Twitter, iPhones etc., so they will want to use it for their studies. We build it (engaging stuff) and they will come Staff now all have iPads so the students must also want to be using them New technologies can do a better job than some more traditional approaches Image accessed from: https://schoolpsych-ipad.wikispaces.com/

- 22. Conclusion Lots of students use Twitter, Facebook, etc., so they will want to use it for their studies Yes quite a few do, but only a few are interested in using them for study We build it (engaging stuff) and they will come That is true in relation to the use of LMS and online conferencing, vod/pod casting and particularly for the self testing of knowledge Staff now all have iPads so the students must also want to be using them Students are mostly using laptops for study New technologies can do a better job than some more traditional approaches To some degree we are clearly seeing a trend to using more online technologies
