Title
Carrots or Sticks: Getting Students to Submit Electronic Theses at MIT
Description
MIT completed a pilot project in the fall of 1999 to collect doctoral theses in electronic format from students in three departments. Despite the technical savvy of most MIT students, only about a third of the sample actually chose the option and succeeded in submitting their PDF document. We discuss what happened and why electronic thesis submission isn't yet required at MIT.
