Abstract

To understand the importance of technologies like the Internet and Learning Management Systems to Higher Education students’ learning activities, this study characterizes the Internet access behaviour of Polytechnic of Porto (IPP)’ students. Student’s habits were obtained through a questionnaire that was answered by 10% of all IPP students. Our analysis is focused not only on the global Internet usage profile under the Polytechnic of Porto, but also on the differences between the students born before and after 1980. International trends are confirmed in this Portuguese Higher Education institution.
