A methodology for studying the impact of laptops in engineering classrooms

This research focused on studying the impact of using laptops in a required undergraduate-level engineering course at Oregon State University (OSU) in Winter 2004 and Winter 2005. Different configurations of devices were used in the classroom in each term. Three outcomes were used to assess the impa...

Doolen Engineering This research focused on studying the impact of using laptops in a required undergraduate-level engineering course at Oregon State University (OSU) in Winter 2004 and Winter 2005. Different configurations of devices were used in the classroom in each term. Three outcomes were used to assess the impact: student learning outcomes, student attitudes towards laptops and the usage of laptops, and contribution of laptops to achieving class learning objectives. Significant differences in learning were found between the two terms. The individual usage of laptops with wireless capability both inside and outside classrooms in Winter 2005 was found to positively impact student learning outcomes and assist in the achievement of class learning objectives. No significant differences in attitudes were found in either year. Student attitudes towards laptops and the usage of laptops were unchanged by the introduction of laptops in both years. © 2006 IEEE. 2018-09-11T08:56:41Z 2018-09-11T08:56:41Z 2006-12-01 Conference Proceeding 15394565 2-s2.0-48749130327 10.1109/FIE.2006.322680 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=48749130327&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/61663
