The Experiences of University Lecturers When Enhancing Their Teaching Through the Use Of Digital Technology: A Systematic Review

This review is set within a context of digital technology enhanced teaching with a University. Whilst there is plenty of evidence that computers and the internet have affected many aspects of daily life there is evidence that the use of digital technology is less embedded within University teaching. This review therefore set out to gather and analyse evidence of lecturer's practice of using technology within teaching. This was accomplished by a systematic search of the education database ERIC resulting in the analysis of sixteen studies. The review showed that lecturers use technology to increase the satisfaction of their students improve their learning or to mediate changes in their learning behaviour and they are more likely to achieve this by using technology to teach more. The skills and professionalism of the lecturer are key determinants of student satisfaction when technology is used to enhance their learning.
