E-Mail Use On The Rise For Faculty, Students @ONE's second Faculty Instructional Technology Survey, conducted in February 2000, documents use and skill in the application of a number of instructional technologies in the California Community Colleges. Faculty continue to use e-mail most for communicating with colleagues. However, using e-mail for communication with students increased from 30% of the respondents (1998) to 55%, though only 14% encourage students to use e-mail for group work. This may indicate concern for lack of student access, or a lack of awareness of the usefulness of e-mail in collaborative learning. It could also be indicative of the relatively low self-reported skills that faculty have in providing activities that encourage students to use e-mail for collaboration. Though students in community colleges have more difficulty convening than do college students in residence, e-mail is a vehicle that allows them to collaborate anytime, anywhere. Group projects can be assigned and students can participate as never before!
