Mobile Resource Use in a Distance Learning Population: What Are They Really Doing on Those Devices?
Gebb, Billie Anne; Young, Zach
Journal of Library & Information Services In Distance Learning, v8 n3-4 p288-300 2014
Mobile device use has been soaring in recent years in all user groups. Mobile learning is no longer an optional activity for academic institutions, but a necessary endeavor. Developing a curriculum around mobile learning is essential, particularly for distance-based, non-traditional students. Understanding how students use their mobile devices is important to supporting mobile learning initiatives. Student survey responses were examined to determine how students use mobile devices in education. Librarians must stay on the forefront of mobile technology by using their skills in curating and teaching to support this important educational initiative and to become leaders in this area.
