Survey Results: Use of Technology in Teaching by College Professors

Just came across this interesting data tidbit from the Chronicle of Higher Education. The results below are from the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) survey of around 4,600 faculty members at 50 U.S. colleges and universities.
