Survey: Male Professors Lag Behind Women in Adopting Technology to Engage Students
New data shows that while male university professors believe they are ahead of the curve when it comes to technology adoption in the classroom, they actually lag behind their female counterparts. And less than one-third of all professors say they are prepared to equip Generation Z students for the modern-day workplace.
A survey of 500 U.S. university professors by Censuswide commissioned by D2L reveals college and university faculty aren’t ready for technologically savvy students who have never known a world without the internet or smartphones.
“Today’s modern learners expect their learning experience to be just as connected as their lives outside the classroom,” said D2L President and CEO John Baker. “If college and university instructors want to meet the needs of their students, they need to engage them technologically.”
