Laptop Use during Class: A Review of Canadian Universities
Cismaru, Romulus; Cismaru, Magdalena
Journal of College Teaching & Learning, v8 n11 p21-28 Nov 2011
Laptop use in class is a characteristic of universities that is changing rapidly. Although much of the attention and research regarding this issue has focused on the debate of whether to impose mandatory laptop programs, the reality of wireless campuses allows students to use their laptops in class for class related and non-class related activities. Therefore, a new debate has arisen concerning whether students should be allowed to use their laptops in class at all. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of Canadian universities in terms of their conditions, requirements, and policies regarding laptop use in class. (Contains 5 footnotes.)
