Tóm tắt
During the period from 1977 to 1979, computer usage at Goucher College went from an involvement of 10% to 607, of the student body; a goal of 90% appears to be within reach by 1981. During the past two years, approximately 40%, of the faculty have begun to use the computer in some way. This rapid rise in computer usage was accomplished without the introduction of a required course in computing, without acquisition of an on-campus macrocomputer or mini-computer, and without creation of a Computer Center staff devoted to academic computing. It flowed from a discovery that the barriers to broad computer usage are not those which can be breached by increasing the quality of the hardware or the sophistication of the software. They must, rather, be breached by addressing sources of non-users' perceptions that they, the non-users, somehow are not appropriate to computer usage and that computers are not appropriate to their purposes. These perceptions give rise to questions and objections from faculty members which are not frivolous, and which must receive a sympathetic response in the design of a computer use program if it is to be broadly effective at a liberal arts college like Goucher College. © 1980 ACM.
