Information Technology in Higher Education

Question

I have a grad student who's looking for data about the increased use of information and communications technology in post-secondary education, among students and instructors. I've found a some numbers from the U.S., but nothing specific to Canada. CIUS focuses on home users, and surveys like HERDS deal more with R&D spending.

Answer

I have consulted with the relevant divisions and it appears that Statistics Canada does not produce the type of data you mention below.

  1. E-learning was indeed a module of CIUS 2005.
    CIUS also offers breakdowns by industry and/or occupation, and FT/PT students. The survey also specifically covers usage rates from students who access the Internet at school -- for ages 18 (2005) and 16 (2007) and up.
    btw it seems that funding has been cut and CIUS 2007 will be the last run of the survey.
