The "Mobility in Higher Education" CIO survey was conducted by the Education Dive editorial staff and is underwritten by Sprint Higher Education Solutions.
Tablets are increasingly being adopted in schools across the country. While they are no silver bullet, they are an effective educational tool with a lot of potential going forward. To get an idea whether universities see tablets as integral to their futures, we asked 50 university CIOs if tablets will play a significant role in their school's future technology plans as part of Education Dive "Mobility in Higher Education" 2013 survey.
Unsurprisingly, most CIOs (68%) indicated tablets will feature in their schools' future technology plans, reflecting the fact that tablets are quickly becoming an essential technology, helping students learn and teachers teach. However, a sizable portion (28%) said tablets will not play a significant role in their schools future technology plans, revealing that some still question tablets' effectiveness and may see them as an eye-catching but unnecessary tool.
RESULTS:
Yes — 68%
No — 28%
Other — 4%
