National Survey of Calculator Use at the College Level (A US Study)
Last year Ed Laughbaum conducted a national survey of hand-held technology used by college faculty in the US. The survey holds no commentary on whether they are used correctly or not, nor is there any conclusion as to whether they are good or bad. It is a usage survey.
