Burgess, Stephen R.; Murray, Ashley B.
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v13 Feb 2014
The use of traditional and smart phone flashcards was examined in two Introductory Psychology college classes. Student use of flashcards of some type increased significantly when they were provided by the instructor. Flashcards available via smartphone app were not used by many students even when provided by the instructor. The results are discussed in terms of the use of mobile devices for studying by college students.
