Use and Users of Digital Resources Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian - Diane Harley, Educause Quarterly
A survey explored scholars' attitudes about educational technology environments in the humanities. Human-centered design, human-computer interaction, participatory design, and the ubiquitous ethnographic study are deeply embedded in the vernacular of technology developers and IT support personnel.1 In the academic world, researchers hope increased knowledge about "users in the wild" will result in the design of more useful and usable technology-enhanced teaching and learning environments.2 Ongoing research at the University of California, Berkeley, into faculty behavior and attitudes suggests a possible chasm between what productive and creative scholars say they need, on the one hand, and what many technological enthusiasts envision on the other. Indeed, "the lack of faculty willingness to change" is often cited as a key barrier to wider adoption of a variety of technologies in undergraduate teaching and other forms of scholarship.
