Mandatory Computer Purchases and Student Preparedness: Implications for New Student Orientation.
Twale, Darla J.; Schaller, Molly A.
Journal of College Orientation and Transition, v10 n2 p60-69 Spr 2003
Studied the perceptions of first and second year college students about their preparedness and technical competence at college entry to use the computer and software applications. Survey responses from 338 students suggest that entering students felt better prepared than second year thought they had been, and that all students make gains over time in hardware and software usage.
