Technology Growth Impacts
People expect to work, learn and communicate wherever they are with no hindrance to time and location. People expect to access their documents wherever they are. Cloud computing has become inexpensive, reliable and mainstream. Interest in data and analytics has promoted adaptive or personalized technologies. Progression in technology is still increasing rapidly and production costs is staying steady or decreasing. New avenues of research and investment
Comparison/Relationship of Technology Preferences
In the technology preference survey, participants were asked to rate their technology preferences. Besides collecting the preferences for emerging web technologies, participants were also asked to rate their preferences for some conventional technologies like email and Blackboard as these were used as an integral part of delivery of services to the customer. Pearson correlation coefficient revealed several significant relationships as shown in Table 1:. All relationships appeared positive, i.e., the higher preference for one technology lead to the higher preference for the other. These results suggest that the learning preferences of various technologies were closely related, i.e. the apprentices are preferred to try various technologies in their study routines instead of relying on one particular tool. These results were also encouraging to experiment a variety of technologies. However, it was interesting to see that none of the emerging web technologies (blog, wiki,IM, podcast, vodcast) correlated with the conventional technologies (email and Blackboard).
