  • Prospective university students have difficulty understanding fully what university life will offer, including what Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provision to expect. However, new research conducted by Ipsos MORI on behalf of JISC suggests that students do come to university with a set of inherent expectations about ICT provision and use and, further, that such expectations have important implications for institutions and the ICT services they provide.  There have been many studies examining students' expectations of higher education but few have focused specifically on those of incoming students and ICT issues. There has also been a tendency for these studies to be conducted with students already at higher education institutions (HEIs), adopting a retrospective analysis of whether their ICT expectations prior to reaching university have been realised.  As technologies and social computing rapidly increase in popularity and evolve (e.g. Web 2.0), it is important that the academic community remains aware of issues faced by learners both before and during higher education. There is also the need to explore whether the learning experience of students is changing over time, how they want to learn through technology and the level to which they want to learn virtually or in the 'classroom'.  The Student Expectations Study looked at what prospective students fluent in the use of technology anticipate from university life in terms of ICT, through discussion groups and an online panel.
