Juska, Arunas; Paris, Arthur E. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1993
Examines the structure of undergraduate computing at a large private university, including patterns of use, impact of computer ownership and gender, and the bureaucratic structure in which usage is embedded. The profile of computer use uncovered in a survey is compared with reports offered by the institution and the trade press. (10 references)…

Peer reviewedWallace, F. Layne; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1991
Discussion of subliminal stimuli focuses on a study of undergraduates that was conducted to determine the feasibility of presenting subliminal information in a passive manner to reinforce the learning process involved in computer-based text editing. The Texas Instruments microcomputers used in the study are described, and further research is…

The use of personal computers by juniors and faculty at Clarkson University, an engineering college, was investigated in December 1985 as a followup to a 1984 study. Starting in August 1983, the university required entering freshmen to purchase their own personal computer, the Zenith Data System Z-100. Randomly selected, a total of 15 faculty…

Peer reviewedRusson, A. E.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1994
Describes a study that investigated how to teach computer skills to undergraduate female novice users through the design of an instructional manual that facilitated learning computer skills and increased computer self-efficacy by using familiar analogies. Treatment of the experimental and control groups is explained, and measurement techniques are…
