Synopsis

Digital devices are important college classroom tools. However, when used for non-class purposes, digital devices may interfere with classroom learning. This research project asked hundreds of college students at seven U.S. universities to describe their behavior and perceptions regarding classroom uses of digital devices for non-class purposes. The results may surprise some. The findings may also confirm the suspicion of others that the growing use of digital devices for non-class purposes may interfere with a student's classroom learning.
