University Students’ Engagement with Devices and Technology
In this paper, through the replication of a pre-COVID-19 research project, we seek to test and compare first-year Australian university students’ study and private uses of technology; compare the desires and capacities of different cohorts (Law and Justice vs Engineering) for technology use; and identify any impacts arising from COVID-19 to their learning experiences. Quantitative and qualitative data, collected by an online questionnaire, identified that, while some participants had more experience with different technologies, there were limited differences between the cohorts’ willingness to use, and their use of, technology for study purposes. Concerns expressed by participants related to where, when, and for what purpose technology was used. Participants all had access to a smart phone, and almost all used a laptop for study purposes. The results suggest the combination of online or pre-recorded lectures and synchronous (either face-to-face or online) tutorials was the most favoured option. While participants were comfortable with the use of technology in teaching and learning, they were wary about using such tools for private communications; however, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, appeared to be in common use. The results confirm the need for a broader and more in-depth understanding of students’ technology uses, needs, and desires.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy (JTDE) is an international, open-access, high quality, peer reviewed journal, indexed by Scopus and Google Scholar, covering innovative research and practice in Telecommunications, Digital Economy and Applications. The mission of JTDE is to further through publication the objective of advancing learning, knowledge and research worldwide. The JTDE publishes peer reviewed papers that may take the following form: *Research Paper - a paper making an original contribution to engineering knowledge. *Special Interest Paper – a report on significant aspects of a major or notable project. *Review Paper for specialists – an overview of a relevant area intended for specialists in the field covered. *Review Paper for non-specialists – an overview of a relevant area suitable for a reader with an electrical/electronics background. *Public Policy Discussion - a paper that identifies or discusses public policy and includes investigation of legislation, regulation and what is happening around the world including best practice *Tutorial Paper – a paper that explains an important subject or clarifies the approach to an area of design or investigation. *Technical Note – a technical note or letter to the Editors that is not sufficiently developed or extensive in scope to constitute a full paper. *Industry Case Study - a paper that provides details of industry practices utilising a case study to provide an understanding of what is occurring and how the outcomes have been achieved. *Discussion – a contribution to discuss a published paper to which the original author''s response will be sought. Historical - a paper covering a historical topic related to telecommunications or the digital economy.
