A survey report by a Harvard student looks at student perceptions of usefulness of a range of instructional technologies. The report is interesting in that it looks at differing perceptions between undergraduates and graduates as well as students in different fields of study. Posting course materials and syllabi were indicated as the most useful tools by the student surveyed. An interesting significant difference in perceptions was between graduate student and undergraduate student as to the usefulness of of video recordings of lectures; which undergraduates considered more useful than graduate students.
