When Associate Director of Learning Technology Nori Barajas-Murphy began surveying 每日大赛 students on their use of laptops, smart phones and tablets for classes, faculty believed La Verne\u2019s use was lower than at other institutions.<\/p>\n

But in four years, the data she has collected paint a different picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe often think our students don\u2019t have the equipment,\u201d she said. \u201cWe often don\u2019t think they\u2019re like students at other universities, and that\u2019s not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, the 2014 statistics Barajas-Murphy released to students Monday show that 90 percent of La Verne undergraduates own smart phones and laptops and 50 percent own tablets. Of students surveyed, 86 percent consider use of laptops very important or extremely important to academic success. Tablets came in second in terms of student importance at 49 percent and 35 percent of students considered smart phones important academically.<\/p>\n

The data is included in a study<\/a> by the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research, which is analyzing responses from students and faculty at universities across the country.<\/p>\n

Barajas-Murphy joined a panel of academic researchers for the SXSWedu Conference and Festival on March 11 in Austin, Texas to present the national findings. They approached the presentation interactively, calling on audience members to guess and vote on different responses from the national data using mobile devices before the actual responses were revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say the folks in higher education really saw the data we had was significant,\u201d Barajas-Murphy said.<\/p>\n

Barajas-Murphy plans to continue her La Verne survey for one more year and analyze the data for trends. It is a subject that interests her because of the varying perceptions and evolving nature of instructional design.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the years I\u2019ve been in faculty development, I hear it from (faculty) all the time – \u2018My students can\u2019t do it because they don\u2019t have fill-in-the-blank,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cFaculty respond to data and are often willing to learn new instructional methods in response to that data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each year she has conducted the study between 180 and 240 undergraduates have responded.<\/p>\n

Beatriz Gonzalez, Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs & Professor of Educational Counseling, is working with Barajas-Murphy by distributing a companion survey involving faculty and technology use.<\/p>\n

She also addresses learning management systems such as Blackboard in her research. Of students surveyed, 54 percent agreed or strongly agreed they would benefit from being better skilled at using the system, which is much more than simply a receptacle for documents and slideshows. With training, students and faculty could take advantage of the greater benefits Blackboard provides, such as engaging with instructors and classmates, tracking performance and receiving instructor feedback. This data supports more in depth training for faculty and students, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like we bought an expensive electric toothbrush and we didn\u2019t give them the batteries,\u201d she said. \u201cIt can do so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the La Verne study does show that, overall, students feel many instructors effectively use technology to support academic success. Sixty-five percent of students said all, almost all or most faculty fit into this category.<\/p>\n

While perceptions persist about mobile devices being more of a distraction than a benefit in the classroom, Barajas-Murphy says the benefits cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents want to use their mobile devices more and more and look to their instructor to model how to use those academically. Without instructor modeling, it\u2019s wasted, and probably can be a distraction\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Barajas-Murphy is currently collecting student surveys for 2015. Students have until April 10 to respond via e-mail to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
