Resumen de Student-driven learning in integrated lecture-lab classroom environments: the role of mobile computing
Mia Markey, Archie Holmes, Thomas Edgar, Kathy Schmidt
This paper presents a critical overview of our experiences in using mobile computing for supporting both faculty and students in integrated lecture±lab classroom environments. Three case studies describe how handhelds, laptop carts, tablet PCs, and student-owned laptops/tablets can enable adaptive, active, applied learning. We identify the remaining challenges to be overcome before the potential of mobile computing can be fully realized. Some of those challenges are specific to mobile computing; however, many others are broader problems in engineering education, such as the need for involvement beyond the primary instructors (e.g., technical staff) and modern classroom facilities.
