INTRODUCTION TO CARECengage Analytics & Research in Education came to life when Cengage realized there is a major misconception - one that is hurting higher education graduates across the world - that 'digital natives' no longer need the Intro Computing course. Do you believe educational institutions are doing their best to truly prepare students for the "real world"?

The International Data Corporation (IDC) discovered that Microsoft Office is listed as a required skill 5X more frequently than all other software programs combined. Despite this fact, companies are identifying a large technology skills gap from recent college graduates.

These graduates - your students - need our help.

Thank you for taking the time to join us in the fight for computing education.
