2010 UVic Law Student Technology Survey Info

Introduction to the UVic Law Student Technology Survey : - In addition to the technology questions we’ve been asking UVic law students over the past seven years, we decided to ask some extra questions about the increasing important mobile technology that students are arriving at Law School equipped with.  One major change to the methodology of this survey compared to past years is that we sent the survey to all students at the law school, not just first year students.  The response rate was 25% this year rather than close to 100% in previous years.

Some students voiced strong reservations about mixing their “business” and “personal” lives on Facebook. It was also mentioned that many Law School and LSS events are already on Facebook via “organic” groups. What might be interesting to pursue is to ask the LSS to post all Law Faculty events on their group, so that those who use Facebook can have the option of subscribing to a complete list of Law Faculty and LSS events with out Law Faculty or Staff being involved on Facebook. This would address the primary privacy concern of students. We would also continue to provide our in house Calendar for those who do not use Facebook, or who do not want to use Facebook in this manner.
