The number responding in December was smaller and the age range was slightly different in that a higher proportion of those responding were mature students.
Nonetheless, the responses reveal that - at the very least - students' familiarity with certain specific online tools has increased (although they may not value or use this knowledge at this stage, at least they have been introduced to the tools). Their level of confidence in searching for and finding information has also increased as has their ability to do useful things like manage emails, synch their calendars to their phones and submit work on line.
