CommentsTechnology Trends
• The National Association for College Admission Counseling reports that roughly 29 percent of colleges use blogs to recruit students, and some universities advertise on Facebook or post promotional videos on YouTube.
• Students can share their opinions of schools and teachers online at Web sites such as studentsreview.com or ratemyprofessor.com.
• Blackboard Learning System is a virtual bulletin board used at many colleges for checking grades, posting assignments and even attending classes online.
• Now that movies can be seen on iTunes, students can upload documentaries and educational video lectures on a range of topics onto the iTunesU section.
• CourseSmart offers more than 4,000 digital textbooks. SDSU students, for example, can buy a subscription for up to 540 days, print up to 10 pages at a time, search for key words and type in the margins. The price for an e-book is considerably less than the print version.
• All universities are likely to become wireless within the next five years, and access to bandwidth may become problematic by 2011.
