What do you use to access the
internet?
We have found out that 58.1% of students use both school and personal devices, this
been because of the high processing power and internet speed on the campus`s IT lab
computers. While 22.6% use only campus computers this been caused by the
expensive data bundles and mobile devices. But 19.4% use they own personal devices.
This lead to those who only use the computers in the campus to access the internet,
once accessing the internet once a day or a week depending on if they have an active
to do. While those with they personal device are the ones who are mostly connected to
the internet always.
The social- economic factors have influenced the results because the most students
access the internet at school mostly with the campus computers, this been that they
data is extremely costly and some cannot afford to buy they own devices

Correlation between the level of
study and skills
The correlation graph shows that students with will developed
skills to navigate the internet are the first year students. The
reason been that since we are living in the digital world most
students are exposed to the internet at a younger age.
While the graph also shows that as the students progress with
they studies at this campus they skills develop for better. This
is shown by decrease of 6.5% of students in the first year
whom were not bad with using the internet to 0% in both
second and third year students.
