At UVic, we wanted to gain a better understanding of the technology devices students bring and use at campus, so we surveyed students to gather data on the ownership and/or usage of: laptops, cellphones, tablets, email, collaborative document editing, desktop video, note taking, file backup, printing, and social-media.
Our project goals included:
- Discover technologies students were bringing with them to school and their use.
- Explore ways to use personal technology for research and engaging instruction.
- Identify means to provide equitable access to technologies for students who cannot afford to purchase it for themselves.
By the end of the session, participants will have a clear view of the technologies UVic students bring with them to school, as well as some potential ways those tools can be leveraged to provide more engaging instruction and better services to students.

12 Years of Student Technology Ownership Surveys: Trends & Today’s Opportunit...Rich McCue
For the past 12 years the University of Victoria Law Faculty & Louisiana State Law Center have surveyed incoming students on their personal technology ownership and usage in order to better understand the technology devices students are bringing with them to law school and how we can leverage those devices to provide a richer learning experience for students. In 2004 student data was gathered on laptop ownership and internet access. Questions were added over time, and we now collect data on the ownership and/or usage of: laptops, cell phones, tablets, email, collaborative document editing, desktop video, note taking, file backup, printing, and social-media. Current project goals include:
- Discover technologies students were bringing with them to school and their use.
- Explore ways to use personal technology for research and engaging instruction.
- Identify means to provide equitable access to technologies for students who cannot afford to purchase it for themselves.
By the end of the session participants will have a clear view of the technologies law students bring with them to school, as well as some potential ways those tools can be leveraged to provide more engaging instruction and better services to students.
Implementing successful ed tech projects don't forget the pedagogyRich McCue
Are new educational technologies more effective in helping students achieve learning objectives than the old technology they replace? How IT professionals implement educational technologies, and how instructors use the technology can mean the difference between no impact on student achievement, and higher grades with more engaged students.
While some educational technology projects aim to lower costs and others to increase access to education, this session will explore the intersection of educational technology and pedagogy (teaching methods). We will look at the relative effectiveness of educational technology implementations as varied as: Digital Textbooks, Clickers, Streaming Video Lectures, Mobile Learning, Virtual Labs, Collaboration Suites, and Learning Management Systems (LMS). Session participants will leave with a better understanding of how to assess the value of educational technology / pedagogy pairings. They will also have a better understanding of what key features make for successful EdTech projects.

Going beyond traditional e-learning methods to create a more collaborative le...Sean Dowling
Traditional e-learning methods are being replaced by more collaborative learning experiences that utilize new technologies and web-based tools. While technology adoption in education has increased, simply using new tools is not enough - pedagogical models must engage students on a deeper level. Educators are exploring constructivist and collaborative approaches like MOOCs, digital scholarship, badges, geo-learning, learning analytics, and seamless learning to develop 21st century skills and redefine learning through crowd sourcing and maker culture. Barriers to this change include teacher insecurity with new approaches and outdated curricula.
This document provides an overview of a research project conducted by four students on the influence of the internet on education. The research aims to determine how education has changed due to the rise of internet access and whether students use the internet as an educational tool or distraction. The document outlines the research topic, title, problem statement, questions, objectives, justification, theoretical framework and subtopics to be explored, including the influence of new technologies, internet as a tool for teachers and students, advantages and disadvantages of internet and cell phone use, and examples of technology advances in El Salvador. It concludes by describing a field visit to a private school in El Salvador where students were interviewed about their internet use for schoolwork, research and entertainment.
This document discusses the challenges academic libraries face in keeping up with changing formats of information resources and how they are used for research. It notes the transition from physical to virtual resources, the rise of Google and Wikipedia, the variety of ebook platforms and formats, and increasing use of mobile devices and apps by students. The document advocates for libraries to adapt to these changes through staff training, guiding students to high-quality sources, and embracing new technologies and formats to better serve modern student needs.

Let’s talk technology and the different social networkingnurseperry
The document discusses technological literacy and how it has become an essential skill for students alongside reading, writing and arithmetic. Technological literacy involves not just learning how to use technology for tasks like word processing, but using it to enhance learning across different subject areas and develop students' skills. It emphasizes that technological literacy provides powerful opportunities for learning through the use of technology.
Presenting technology research final fleischhackersaraefly
The document discusses emerging technologies in education based on three articles and concludes with a summary slide. The first article describes blogging, vlogging, Google Docs, and other technologies. The second discusses a teacher's use of Facebook to have students create profiles for historical figures. The third reports on geo-location tools and giving students a choice in attending classes. The conclusion states that new technologies will help teachers and students succeed by providing more options tailored to individual learning styles.
This presentation summarizes several important educational websites. It introduces websites that contain information about institutions, organizations, NGOs and companies. Key websites discussed include www.ssrn.com/en/, www.acer.edu.au/, www.icssr.org, and www.nhrc.nic.in. For each website, brief descriptions of 1-3 sentences outline their purpose and content, such as providing research papers, supporting educational research, promoting social science research, and providing human rights education and guidelines. In closing, the presentation invites audience questions and thanks attendees for their time.
Mobile learning, or m-learning, refers to learning that takes advantage of portable technologies and can occur anywhere. With the rise of mobile devices and a new digital generation of students, m-learning allows for anytime, anywhere interaction with tutors, other learners, and educational content. While m-learning provides benefits like increased student motivation and engagement, it also presents challenges such as potential distraction and cheating as well as issues with device compatibility and teacher training. For m-learning to be effective in schools, clear guidelines, cost analysis, and continued support are needed.
Virtual education provides opportunities for students through online and blended learning models. It allows students to take classes they may not otherwise have access to, and provides new ways to support students with special needs. While still new, virtualization software is helping schools cut costs by allowing more server operations on single hardware. Overall, virtual education is enhancing learning opportunities and its role is likely to continue growing in the future.
The document discusses various interactive technologies and online learning environments that can be used for education, including blogs, wikis, virtual worlds, and more. It defines interaction as events that require two objects and actions that mutually influence one another. There are different types of interaction, including learner-content, learner-instructor, and learner-learner. Emerging web 2.0 technologies like collaborative writing tools, blogs, podcasts, and media sharing are interactive and social. Virtual worlds allow synchronous interactions through avatars and can be used for remote learning, immersive experiences, and peer-to-peer learning. Second Life is discussed as a virtual world platform used by many educators for teaching and learning activities.

For many technically savvy educators, myself included, the excitement and newness of a recently developed educational technologies are hard to resist. Whether it be true or not, there is usually an expectation that the new technology will perform better than the old. For example, newly released computers and smartphones are invariably faster and more capable than their predecessors. Can the same be said for new educational technologies? The short answer is no. New educational technologies alone do lead to higher student test scores, in the same way that this year’s more capable smartphone does not typically make better voice calls than a previous year’s model even though they may possess new features and functionality.

The document discusses embedding a culture of open education in universities by taking small steps to address challenges like technophobic faculty and attitudes of "digital native" students. It recommends systemic changes to learning structures and student attitudes, including encouraging staff uptake of social media for teaching through demonstrations and support for those trying new approaches. Roadshows and small group sessions would help cross the chasm to greater acceptance of online learning.
This document discusses mobile learning (m-learning) and its use in health studies classrooms. It defines m-learning as learning that is flexible, portable, and connects learners across locations using mobile devices. The document then provides statistics on growing mobile technology and smartphone use globally and in Canada. It outlines several uses of mHealth apps and the benefits of m-learning for health studies, including improved access to information and enhanced learning experiences. Barriers to m-learning are also discussed along with recommendations to support its implementation.
The document summarizes the development and piloting of a cross-sector benchmarking tool called the Digital Experience Tracker. It was developed by Jisc to help education providers gather feedback from students on their digital experiences and skills. Over 10,000 students from 24 pilot institutions completed the tracker survey. Key findings included that students want more access to devices and digital resources, and that FE & Skills students reported receiving more guidance but had less access than HE students. The tracker is now available for other providers to use to understand and improve students' digital experiences.
The document discusses a project examining further education (FE) students' digital experiences and expectations. It conducted research including literature reviews and student focus groups. The research found students have varying prior experiences and needs regarding technology. It also identified challenges students face related to digital tools in their colleges. The project aims to provide colleges guidance on supporting students' digital skills and developing a set of principles for enhancing the student digital experience.
- The document discusses how technology can transform education in Ontario by improving access, quality, and affordability of education. It outlines several key developments in e-learning including blended learning, mobile learning, immersive learning, and open educational resources.
- Implementing e-learning on a wider scale could increase access to education through more flexible course scheduling and delivery. It could also improve quality by facilitating peer and expert review of content. E-learning also has the potential to make education more affordable by reducing costs per student and accelerating time to completion.
This document summarizes the results of a survey on internet usage conducted at Maharshi Dayanand College Library. The survey found that most students access the internet at college or at home to work on projects, communicate via email, and update their knowledge. Faculty members primarily use the internet for knowledge updating and accessing latest journals. While respondents were generally satisfied with their ability to find information online, some noted issues like slow speeds and outdated websites. The document concludes that internet literacy training could help users access information more effectively.

At the EMEA Symposium 2020, Sarah Knight, Head of data and digital capability at Jisc, delivered a data-focused insight into how students are actually using technology in further and higher education. Here are some key findings:
- Office for Students predicts that over a million digitally skilled people will be needed by 2022 whilst 24% of HE students said they never worked online with others
- 70% of HE students agreed that digital skills were important for their chosen career but only 42% agreed that their course prepared them for the digital workplace
Here are the key recommendations that, now more than ever, can practically help your students:
- Raise awareness of the importance of digital skills
- Ensure they know what digital skills they need to have before they start and provide opportunities to develop these only online
- Encourage collaboration to emulate business practices
- Embed digital skills through curriculum design
This year's EMEA Studiosity Symposium was hosted online on 1st and 2nd April 2020.

Conserving Energy One Home or Cubicle at a TimeRich McCue
The document discusses ways to conserve energy at home through measuring electricity usage and making improvements. It describes how Rich McCue measured his family's electricity consumption and found they used $120/month. He installed various upgrades like insulation, windows, a heat pump and solar hot water to reduce costs. Through these measures over 8 years, his family saves $2000 annually on electricity. The document encourages readers to get an energy assessment and focus first on low-cost, high impact upgrades like sealing air leaks, insulation and LED bulbs to conserve energy.

Talk is intended for non-technical users.
Exploring the Learning Outcomes of a Flipped Learning Methodology for Post-Se...Rich McCue
This document outlines a presentation on a study exploring the learning outcomes of using a flipped learning methodology for post-secondary information literacy instruction compared to a traditional teaching method. The presentation covers the research questions, theoretical frameworks, mixed methods research design, results from quantitative pre- and post-tests and qualitative student interviews, educational implications drawn from the findings, and limitations and opportunities for future research. Key results include higher achievement and confidence levels on post-tests for students in the flipped learning sections, particularly for ESL students, and qualitative feedback indicating students found the flipped approach more engaging and helpful for scaffolding larger assignments.
Flipped Classrooms: A Powerful Teaching Tool, But Not a PanaceaRich McCue
Adopting a flipped classroom approach can free up valuable in-class time by using videos and exercises that students watch and complete as homework, or “pre-work." This allows teachers to more easily differentiate their instruction and allows students to learn at their own pace. Teachers can typically spend more one-on-one time with students who are struggling during class time, and allows for more student selected project based learning to engage students. This talk includes an overview of the flipped learning model, a demonstration of one approach to flipping a classroom, and discussion of where flipped learning works and does not work well—along with equity issues to keep in mind when implementing.

A Systematic Analysis And Synthesis of the Empirical MOOC Literature Publishe...Rich McCue
This document summarizes a systematic analysis of 183 empirical research papers on MOOCs published between 2013-2015. The analysis examined the geographic distribution of research, publication outlets, citations, data collection/analysis methods, and research strands. Key findings include: Most research was conducted in the US and published in certain journals/conferences; studies of student topics and MOOC design were most common; quantitative methods like surveys dominated; and there was a lack of instructor-focused and qualitative research. The authors call for more diverse methodological approaches to understanding MOOCs.
Seat eXchanger: The Mobile, Open Source, Web App that Facilitates Flexible Mu...Rich McCue
A significant problem facing Multi-Access courses with a limited number of face-to-face and online seats, is accommodating students who want or need to move between modalities without imposing an onerous administrative burden on instructors. One possible solution is the Seat eXchanger mobile web app under development in the TIE Lab at the University of Victoria. The Seat eXchanger app allows students to reserve and exchange of “seats,” depending on availability, and move seamlessly between modalities. At the beginning of the semester students indicate their primary mode of participation in the course, and then as needed or desired during the semester, they can use the web app to reserve a “seat” in a different modality for a session. For example if a student whose primary modality is face-to-face, wants to attend via remote video, they use the web app to reserve a virtual seat, which frees up their face-to-face “seat” in for someone else to use. The project roadmap includes:
- Release of source code under an Open Source license to allow others to contribute code and documentation back to the project.
- Integration with Moodle for authentication and seamless access for students.
- Waitlist functionality for students to add themselves to a waitlist if no seats are available in their desired modality for a session.
During this session, we will briefly demonstrate typical use cases for the software from the administrator and user perspectives, and then engage participants in a discussion about future functionality, features, and opportunities to contribute to the project.
Video Conferencing Via Robot: Needs and Implication of Access by Cyber ProxyRich McCue
This document discusses the potential use of video conferencing robots to provide remote access for students. It provides an overview of different robot models that could be used and examines potential benefits such as providing access for students in remote or rural areas, with special needs or anxiety, or without time to commute to class. The document also shares perspectives from several instructors who thought a robot could replicate the classroom experience and be a good solution for including remote students in group work. Overall, the document explores the needs and implications of using robots to enable virtual participation via video conferencing.

Creativity for Innovation and SpeechmakingMattVassar1
Tapping into the creative side of your brain to come up with truly innovative approaches. These strategies are based on original research from Stanford University lecturer Matt Vassar, where he discusses how you can use them to come up with truly innovative solutions, regardless of whether you're using to come up with a creative and memorable angle for a business pitch--or if you're coming up with business or technical innovations.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

The questions we asked were clustered around the topics relating to what hardware and applications students are using and for what purpose:
Mobile Devices
Email & Collaboration
Computing & Internet
Social Media
As you can see on this slide our survey sample is large and representative our student population both in terms of faculty and year of study on campus.
Back when the 1st survey was conducted in 2003:
[NEXT] Finding Nemo was hot…
[NEXT] The cool high tech cell phone was the Palm Treo...
[NEXT] The iTunes music store was just released...
[NEXT] And The US forces were being hailed as liberators in Iraq.
Meanwhile among 1st year UVic Law Students:
Laptop ownership hit 66%
[NEXT] Only 49% of those laptops were wireless capable (built-in or add-on card)
[NEXT] High speed internet access at home was at 72%
Now in 2015:
[NEXT] Star Wars the Force Awakens is the hot new movie…
[NEXT] The cool high tech cell phone is arguably the iPhone 6S...
[NEXT] Virtual Reality products are becoming more popular...
[NEXT] The US still has 12,000 troops in Iraq along with 2 aircraft carrier.
Let’s start by looking at cell phone ownership...
Currently, 95% of students own smartphones (iPhones or Android).
If the trends in historical surveys are any indication, the number of students without smartphones should be approaching zero soon.
As we will see, students don’t always bring their laptops to school, but their cell phones are always with them.
What are the major school related SmartPhone uses by students?
Quick reference, things like:
Class and campus information,
Including maps and schedules.
That said, a large portion of students don’t feel like they use their phone for school.
Wherever possible we should try to provide general reference info for student in mobile native formats.
Smartphone are uqiquitous… not only in ownership, but also in the probability that they will have it with them at school (as we will shortly see is not the case with laptops). This facilitates...
[NEXT] In-class feedback, esp in large classrooms.
[NEXT] Quick reference during in class group work.
On the other hand, especially in lecture style classes we need to make sure students aren’t distracting their classmates with their cell phone usage.
And as we’ll discuss, hopefully professors will begin to use more effective ways of teaching other than the traditional lecture.
1/3 of students have instant notification turned on for their email on their phones.
This is potentially a significant in class distraction.
Instructors might consider asking students to put their phones in “airplane mode” while in-class.
This would also eliminate the instant notifications from text messages and social media apps.
Marcus...
In terms of laptops owned by students, Windows and Macs are the two major players with 50% and 44% ownership respectively.
96% of students arrive at University with a laptop.
This means that 4% or 800 students are still depending 100% on UVic labs and library computers while they are on campus.
But how often do students who own laptops actually bring their laptops to campus?
58% of students bring their laptops to school regularly, 28% occasionally, and 14% never bring them to campus.
The 14% of student who never bring a laptop to campus = 2800 students. Plus the 800 w/o Laptops means that there are a lot students on campus daily w/o laptops.
This explains the relatively high usage rates of the Library and UVic Systems computer labs during peak hours.
Wireless stats
The good news is that ⅔ of student report that they are backing up their important files.
The bad news is that ⅓ either aren’t backing up, or are not sure if they are…
If they are backing up to the Cloud then they have the same Patriot act issues as webmail and document collaboration services.
Mainly at home, but significant amounts of printing done on campus.
Still need printing services on campus for the foreseeable future.
Next we asked about real time video and audio collaboration:
Skype dominates with 69% of students using it.
When asked about collaborative document editing:
60% use Google Drive & 37% Dropbox. Google increased from 41% 2 years ago, and Dropbox decreased from 43%. The numbers of students using “cloud” tools is growing every year as the tools become more capable and convenient.
While a significant time saver when working on groups projects, all these services are “cloud based” and the data is almost always stored in the US...
When asked about primary email accounts:
About 80% of these email services are US based…
Only 8% use their UVic account as their primary account.
A number of comments about webmail...
That said, there is a critical need to inform students about the potential risks with US based cloud service & email providers.
An effort should be made to let them know that their documents and data are potentially subject to search by US authorities under the Patriot Act.

Next Tablets:
The majority of students now own a tablet or eBook reader, which was not the case in 2013.
Assuming continued growth in tablet ownership:
We should give serious consideration to creating coursepacks in eBook as well as paper format whenever possible.
We should also consider training to encourage professors to purchase textbooks available in eBook as well as print formats.
We should note that almost all Open Access textbooks are freely available in eBook format, including those offered by BC Campus. -> Using these textbooks have the added virtue of reducing the cost of education for our students.
Our question about note taking produced some interesting results. Students report that:
The vast majority use pen & paper.
With about ⅓ using their laptop.
Recent research from Princeton & UCLA indicates that students who transcribe their lectures, process lecture content at shallower levels and remember less.
Consideration should be given to discussing the potential drawbacks associated with using laptops for taking transcriptional style class notes.
That said, it would be interesting to study how effective the 13% of students who use their cell phone are in note taking… Ironically, I think that it is probably more effective than laptop transcription because on a cell phone students would be forced to summarize which is an excellent way to help process more deeply & remember things.

One way to encourage Instructors to leverage the technology students already own, would be to offer more Professional development opportunities for new & current instructors. These sessions could help them to learn to use new technology enabled pedagogies & Open Access Resources.
[NEXT] For example, a typical Blended Pedagogy allows professors to engage students in more hands-on constructivist activities in class by moving some lecture content into pre-lecture activities & videos.
While we can’t depend on every student having a laptop for individual work while in class, we almost always see them in sufficient numbers to use them in small groups in collaborative exercises in class.
Here’s a real world case study from UVic: An English professor “flipped” his 1st year research and writing class.
This involved moving most of the traditionally in-class “lecture” content into videos and online exercises for the students to complete in Moodle before class.
Then during class, most of the time was devoted to group activities, many of which helped them make progress on their major paper assignment for the class. The groups would share what they’d done with the rest of the class with their laptops either through a shared document or Moodle.
Here is a quote from this senior professor at the end of the semester: “My sense is that there is more consistent and higher level of student interest in the flipped classes than in traditional lectures.”
The students engaging in the in-class group activities are not distracted by their personal technology, they are using it to help them learn, similar to how they learn in a real world settings.
Other pedagogies that can take advantage of the technology students are bringing with them to school include Blended Classrooms, Multi-Access Learning and Online Learning.
Using student owned technology allows us to experiment with promising pedagogies in a cost effective way.
Another benefit is that courses using video technology can be more easily taken by students at other institutions. By enabling students at other universities to take courses at UVic, some niche classes that would not have enough local enrollment to run can become viable.
https://oac.uvic.ca/academicleadershipretreat/about-alr-2014/
Next we asked about social media usage in general:
Currently 87% of students use Facebook. 73% of students connected with other incoming students before the start of school. While a number of students commented about their dislike for Facebook & Social media in general, it’s obvious that a large percentage of students find it useful for connecting with their classmates before and after they arrive at school.
[NEXT] Faculties could consider assisting incoming students to connect with each other by pointing them to student-run social media groups in their welcoming emails. This can be especially helpful for out of town students looking for shared accommodations.
Lastly we asked about social media usage to help with assignment completion:
Anecdotally I’ve seen FB and Youtube used by a study group to work through homework by collaboratively sharing relevant videos, and then engage in peer based tutoring for those in the group who were struggling.
[NEXT] It would be very interesting to ask a few more questions to explore in more depth the different ways students are using social media to help them learn. This is something we will incorporate into next year’s survey.
We’ve covered a lot of territory… Nows let’s look at some of the opportunities we’ve identified Based on analysis of the data:
We can serve students more effectively by making university-related web content more mobile friendly & Faster…
High priority at UVic
Encourage the adoption of textbooks available in eBook formats, including Open Access materials.
Provide training to help faculty members leverage student technology to enable active, engaging pedagogies, moving away from the less effective lecture format
At UVic, the Technology Integrated Learning group is helping educate and facilitate faculty wanting to experiment with tech enabled pedagogies.
But Remember that technology is not a Cure-All for education,
However technology can be used to increase student engagement, both in and out of the class…
And if we do things to increase student engagement, then I think we are on the right track.
