q2 · i? · associational · r1

Descriptive survey findings on frequency of individual use (section 4.4); the authors caution staff responses were skewed towards ICT users, likely innovators or early adopters. "71% at C-U-Coll" is the printed figure.

"However staff use from the Structured Corporate institutions was not as high as staff use from the Unstructured Collegium institutions (A-S-Corp 40% indicated above average, B-S Corp 45% indicated above average compared to 71% at C-U-Coll)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Variety of ICT use shows a reversed pattern: students in Structured Corporate institutions report the most varied use, but staff variety is highest in the Unstructured Collegium institution — related
• The Unstructured Bureaucratic institutional type is the least enabling context for elearning, showing little evidence of either top-down or bottom-up change — related
• Staff at Structured Corporate institutions report markedly better resources and support than staff at Unstructured institutions, with teaching-venue adequacy the greatest disparity — related
