The OSU
Libraries & Press Library Faculty Association invites interested colleagues
to the April presentation in our 2012-2013
Seminar Series. The upcoming seminar focuses on
College Students, Technology, and Academic Workflows and will feature two
presentations looking at different aspects of this topic.
Finding
Techknowledgey (Allyson
Dean)
In an
increasingly digital world, college assignments require students
to complete demonstrations of their competency in not only their subject,
but in the technology needed to complete the assignment. This
session disseminates students' perceptions around the hidden curriculum
of understanding technology, having consistent access to technology,
and knowing what questions to ask or resources to seek to succeed in
using technology for university coursework.
The Impact of Mobile Devices on Undergraduate Students’
Information Practices (Anne-Marie Deitering & Margaret Mellinger)
Six
OSU undergraduate students were given iPads and followed over 20 weeks using
case study methods to track how they integrated the devices into their
information workflows —and how they did not. Analysis of the research data led
to greater awareness of the cyclical nature of student information and study
habits. Results suggest that students would benefit from incorporating
technology into their academic rhythms early in their college career, ideally
in the first year.
