Abstract

Automatic capture technology could enable students to record and index much information-both digital and non-digital-with little extra effort. Can this technology be designed to augment students' education without overwhelming them? Can it be designed to meet educators' goals? This research will address these questions by studying the information needs and educational practices of undergraduate biology students. Findings will provide a foundation for the design of capture systems that can enhance education and support effective e-Portfolios.
