Internet Emerges as Study Aid, not Detractor, for College Students - Houghton Mifflin, ITSA Survey
As millions of college freshman head to campus, a new study reveals that students are stocking their book bag, or rather their computer bag, with online study tools to stay ahead in class. The survey of 896 currently enrolled college students underwritten by Houghton Mifflin Company found that more than half (59 percent) of college students surveyed said they use online study tools to keep up with course work and prepare for exams. Online quizzing is the most popular online study aid, with 78 percent of students saying they use this tool. Almost as popular are online course outlines that accompany textbooks, with two-thirds of students reporting that they download these study-aids. Rounding out students' online 'book bag' are video tutorials (29 percent), online tutoring (24 percent) and online study groups (16 percent).
