EXAMINATION OF THE SCOPE OF ACADEMIC USE ON SMART DEVICE INTHE ISRAELI ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
In recent years the phenomenon of using smart devices for studying anytime, anywhere, has grown rapidly. Theobjective of this study is to examine the scope of the academic use of smart devices in the Israeli academicenvironment. A Smart device refers to a portable device that is capable of connecting to the internet such as:Smartphones, Tablets, E-Readers and PDA.The current study addressed two research questions:RQ1: How do students use smart devices for academic purposes?RQ 2: What are the barriers to using mobile smart devices and are smart devices easy to use for academicpurposes?The first objective is to explore the way students use smart devices for academic purposes. The second objectiveis to find barriers and ease of use of smart device academic. The findings indicate that students use smart devicesfor academic purposes, however academic use is not particularly high. The most common academic uses of smartdevices are accessing the campus website, reading pdf files, using courses catalog, finding academic material byinternet search and by online databases, finding new research tools and new services by internet search and byfellow students. According to the students the main barriers to using mobile devices with internet were: poor siteformat, small screen size and slow downloading time.
