Digital Access

Availability of the internet.

What did the survey show in terms of
accessibility?
The survey showed that majority of the students are able to access
the internet. A percentage of 87.1% of students showed that they
were able to access my survey through the use of the internet.
Did all students surveyed have access to the
Internet outside of campus?
Majority of the students I surveyed have access to the internet
outside of campus while only a few dont have access.
If so, what was the most common means of
access?
The most common means of access includes smartphones and data
bundles, most students use their phones to access the internet and
outside campus they use data bundles instead of the campus Wi-Fi.
If not, why do you think this is the case?

Some of the students can not afford to access the internet outside of
the campus because purchasing data bundles is expensive for them
and when not at school they do not have Wi-Fi.
Did socio-economic factors play a role in your
findings?
For only a few students income/money was a socio economic factor,
this was a barrier for these students to answer my survey because
students can not afford to use the internet outside of campus. This
resulted in the having to wait until they get to school so they can
answer my survey.
Did everyone have the same level of skill in
using technology?
Not everyone has the same level of skill in using technology, I had a
few students I had to explain to about how to use their
phones/laptops to navigate and answer my survey.
Was there a correlation between the level of
access available and skills?
Yes definitely. I noticed while doing this survey that there was a
mutual connection between the level of access available and skill. The
students who have more access and availability to the internet were
more skilled in technology rather than the ones with less access and
availability.
