Hello Shrwan: I am developing the same work here in Colombia (South America) at the city of Bogota. My work does no make the specific about "public" although it has several particularities form the private (mainly the heterogenic population). Regarding your factors, my hypothesis remark that here in Colombia gender would be not a problems (we have more women studying than men and no religious or cultural restrictions are given; on the opposite). Art - science might be strong but in my case, the first stage tackle mainly business faculties. Although they are not specifically about public universities, I believe Benoit, P. J., W. L. Benoit, et al. (2006). The Effects of Traditional versus Web-Assisted Instruction on Learning and Student Satisfaction, University of Missouri. For Colombia Facundo, A. H. (2003). La Educación Superior Virtual en Colombia. Bogotá, UNESCO Instituto Internacional para la Educación Superior en América Latina y el Caribe - IIESALC. But this is a measure about TICs availability. And the NO SIGNIFICANT phenomena man, Russell, T. L. (1999). The No Significant Difference Phenomenon. Raleigh, North Carolina State University. I hope you revert so maybe we can fix way to collaborate and even, validate hypotheses in both countries.

Probable Spam] [Air-L] Internet Use in Public Universities Hello all, I am researching on "Internet Use among the students in Public Universities: A case study of University of Zambia". I am basically looking at the factors affecting internet use, purpose and knowledge of internet (at the moment two major factors Gender and School-hard science vs. art and science). Could any one give me some suggestion or information about similar studies done in other universities. Situation in other developing countries would be appreciable. Looking for your cooperation. -- Shrwan Khanal Development and International Cooperation University of Jyvaskyla Finland cell:358442733433 _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
