Juggling Demands Distracts Today's Students From Learning According to Cengage Learning/Eduventures Study
Today's college students are juggling multiple demands and are also entering school lacking essential skills, which is significantly impacting their ability to study and focus, according to a survey released by Cengage Learning.
The survey, entitled "Instructors and Students: Technology Use, Engagement and Learning Outcomes" and conducted by Eduventures, identifies a new generation of students and highlights pressures and obstacles hindering student success. This is the second Cengage Learning/Eduventures survey designed to uncover how educational technology impacts overall student engagement and learning outcomes.
I created a text that is mostly my own work with lots of citations, including some for which Cengage secured copyright permission. It allows me to focus on the material I think is the most important. It provides me with an opportunity to 'test drive' my material with my students. It makes them feel more involved in the course, part of the creation of something exciting and interesting. It saves the students money and allows them to have everything they need in one convenient text.
