Survey: Most Students Say Technology Boosts Academic Success

Three out of four college and university students think technology has had a positive impact on their academic success, according to a recent survey. Their preferred tech tools are laptops and smartphones, and they look to their institutions to provide the software applications and resources they need. And most are satisfied with the variety of IT resources available to them.

Those findings and more came out of a SurveyMonkey Audience study of 601 U.S. adults ages 1844 who are currently enrolled as students in two-year, four-year or graduate school programs. The survey was conducted from Sept. 911, 2017; respondents came from an online SurveyMonkey Contribute panel of people who volunteer to complete SurveyMonkey surveys each month in return for charitable incentives.

The survey revealed a wealth of insights into students' use of computing devices, attitude toward technology and awareness of campus resources.

Students and Their Devices

More than half (54 percent) of students surveyed bring at least two internet-connected devices with them to campus. Another 22 percent bring three to four devices.

Nearly all students (92 percent) use smartphones on campus; 72 percent use laptops, 23 percent use tablets. Notably, 53 percent of respondents took the survey on a mobile device (iOS or Android phone/tablet).

Forty-two percent of students are very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the support their school provides for mobile devices, although 26 percent have never sought institutional IT support for their smartphone or tablet. In general, nearly a quarter of students (22 percent) said they never utilize IT support or the help desk at their school. Sixty-nine percent go to IT for help rarely or occasionally, while 8 percent get support frequently or very often.

Tech and Student Success

The majority of students (66 percent) said their overall technology experience at school has been excellent or good. What's more, most students (75 percent) said technology has had a significantly positive or positive impact on their academic success. Just 3 percent said the opposite.

When students were asked what technology issues have a negative impact on their academic success, they most frequently cited connectivity issues and internet access on campus. About one in five students (21 percent) rate their school's wireless network coverage as merely "fair or poor." (Fifty-five called the WiFi good or excellent.)

Out of all students who bring at least two devices with them to campus, 76 percent said their laptops contribute most to their academic success; 40 percent thought their smartphones were most important to their studies. Only 12 percent cited tablets, and 9 percent cited desktop computers.

However, 24 percent of students said laptops are banned from one or more of their classes, while 38 percent are restricted from using smartphones.

Students think software makes a difference too: Having "the right software applications" offered in school improves the quality of student work (cited by 67 percent of respondents), increases student productivity (66 percent), facilitates student collaboration (48 percent) and aids collaboration with faculty (39 percent). Eighty percent of students feel their school has provided all the software they need to be successful.
