Effects of a Microcomputer-Intensive Residence Hall Environment on the Computer-Related Attitudes and Skills of Undergraduate Students: A Study of Gender Differences

Abstract

dc:description

During the 1985-86 academic year, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) sponsored a project which provided microcomputer work stations, software, and computer education in a coed residence hall housing undergraduate students. This dissertation examined the effects of this microcomputer-intensive environment on the computer-related attitudes and skills of residence hall students and explores the extent to which these effects differ for men and women.
