Abstract

When students are surveyed (Oblinger, 2005) about technology use, conversing; collaborating; and playing games are often in their responses. Web 2.0 learning technologies can be used in the classroom to teach students in the way in which they are most comfortable. Data results and conclusions from this study will be presented by the principal investigators. Specifically, data is being analyzed to see if African American females and other minority groups use of technology is an opportunity for faculty to consider alternative forms of instructional delivery and communication. Additionally, consideration will be given as to whether the University must also improve, design, and encourage more digital communication and access for faculty and students.
