College in the Information Age: Gains Associated with Students' Use of Technology - Terrell L. Strayhorn, Journal of Interactive Online Learning
Increasingly college students are expected to use computers and technology in their studies.

These gains range from general learning outcomes to specific outcomes related to computers and technology. Results suggest a modest, but statistically significant relationship between students’ use of technology and closely related learning outcomes. Four college activities related to computer use emerged as strongest predictors of gains from college: searched internet for course material, used computer to analyze data, used index or database to find material, and retrieved off-campus library materials. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.
