ICTs in the daily lives of Australian students

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the use of information and communications technologies from the perspective of university students as co-researchers. Using methods developed for a similar study at the University of Cambridge (Riddle & Howell, 2008), students are prompted 8-10 times over a 24 hour period to fill out a diary and take photographs of technologies and techniques they are using. This poster reports on the progress of this study, including sampling student attitudes towards their own personal technologies as well as technology infrastructure, classroom technologies and library facilities.
