| Popis: | Mobile digital technology has the potential to enable students to create space and time for their academic work. Most undergraduates have a smartphone; some also use tablet computers and ereaders for their coursework. While students appreciate laptop computers, older and heavier models are often used more like desktop computers, and not all students can afford the additional expense of a laptop. Mobile technology offers many affordances for students, especially in light of fixed barriers, and can facilitate students’ academic work in varied locations. However, this more recently developed technological model also introduces barriers that are distinctly location-based. Mobile technology requires internet access to be most useful for coursework, and access to solid, reliable wifi is not guaranteed for students, either on campus or off. |
