Abstract
The purpose of this evaluation study was to determine how faculty and students at
Grand View College use technology tools for learning in accordance with the
Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. This qualitative
study included pre- and post- surveys completed by participating faculty and
students, a workshop to introduce faculty to the Seven Principles concepts,
interviews with participating faculty and some students, and classroom
observations. The results of the study were communicated to members of the
Grand View College community at a Celebration. The results indicated that the
Seven Principles can be enhanced or promoted through the use of various
instructional technologies. The results further indicated advantages and
limitations of specific technology use as well as barriers to potential use. The
results were in accordance with findings observed in the literature review, which
indicated that availability, technical support, and user skill levels play significant
roles in the success of technology use in accordance with the Seven Principles.
