At one point or another everyone has been exposed to some kind of technology, be it by means of computer, internet, household appliances, or Global Positioning Systems. But how do people of different ages, skill levels and backgrounds adjust to learning and utilizing technology? More specifically, how does each person's learning style affect his or her ability to learn? The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of technology on student learning in a three-dimensional computer aided design and drafting course. The qualitative research method was employed to include classroom observations, student learning assessment surveys, questionnaires, and interviews. Although the original intent of the research was to study the impact of technology, the participants' learning styles and the classroom environment dominated the investigation. During the observations in the classroom and the interview process, additional questions relating to comfort level, classroom setup and presence of distractions emerged. By analyzing the observations made, student learning assessment surveys, questionnaires and interviews it became apparent that the technology utilized in this class did not have as great of an impact as originally believed.
