[i] Each point corresponds to a student, and the bubble around each point is proportional to self-reported computer use (hours) in the week preceding the survey. The two outliers with respect to age (18 and 47, respectively) do not change the general conclusion: there is no significant correlation between age, amount of PC use, and attitudes toward teaching English with technology.

[ii] The horizontal axis shows “new” students, the vertical axis shows the “experienced” group. Similar ratings show up as straight lines. No clear group differences present themselves, but office-type skills appear to have lower ratings. The lower right plot shows reported attitudes to teaching English with technology by group.

[iii] The vertical axis shows the number of respondents, the horizontal axis shows the self-reported skill level, from 1 (very poor) to 5 (excellent). The difference is statistically significant with a Wilcoxon signed rank test for paired samples (V = 131, 
p = 0.02).

[iv] Each label corresponds to a respondent; labels in the same position on the map are printed on top of each other. As the map clearly shows, there is an almost complete overlap between the new and more experienced students. The two-dimensional representation is fairly good, with a Kruskal stress value of 12.16%.
