Description
This project concerns the nontraditional students attending Minnesota State University, Mankato and their ability to use computers and software in use at the university. In our research we asked traditional and nontraditional students at MSU to evaluate their computer skills. Previous studies indicated older nontraditional students face challenges in staying abreast with the computer technology in use in university classrooms. This study was designed to determine if nontraditional students at Minnesota State University, Mankato are at a disadvantage and to identify what, if any, technological difficulties they face. In this study faculty and students were interviewed and students surveyed. The information gathered was analyzed to compare computer skills of traditional students to computer skills of nontraditional students.
