technology is often promoted as an empowering tool that can help faculty work more efficiently and students understand more deeply.\u00a0 in a response to a belief that faculty and students both want and need to use these technologies, many classrooms have been fortified with cutting-edge equipment. in addition, technology units, like its, are meeting the demand for consumption by continually increasing network bandwidth and offering access to upgraded cloud-computing services like virtual file storage and application hosting.\u00a0 meanwhile, pockets of faculty are successfully using a variety of technologies, including course management systems like oak, to meet a student expectation for a level of technology use they can only assume to be true, as much of the research has not been able to accurately document them.<\/p>\n
