    • Around three-quarters of learners feel quite or very confident in using technology for a wide range of tasks, although this varies according to age and gender.
    • Over eight in ten learners have access to a computer at home, with the overwhelming majority also having internet access (usually via broadband). Around one-third of learners without home computer access do not ever use computers at college. 
    • 62% of learners state it is essential to use a computer on their course to learn about the subject.  They use technology most frequently for researching and presenting work, and less often for communication or group working.  Only a minority are required to use a virtual learning environment (27%), e-portfolio (20%), or computer-based tests that count towards the final course mark (30%).
    • The majority of learners feel computers give them more flexibility (66%), improve subject understanding (59%) and lead to better performance in assessments (65%), although there is still a strong preference for face-to-face learning.
