How Hands Free Always On (HFAO) Technology Will Affect Classrooms

Hands Free Always On (HFAO) technology, such as the next generation of smart glasses, will likely become undetectable, turn up in classrooms in the near future and change teaching and learning. This paper is an exploratory study that analyzes two focus groups with faculty members at a research university. Participants were former and current NJIT instructors who have taught at an undergraduate and/or graduate level. The focus group process and the analysis of the information collected were guided by our four research questions: (1) How will HFAO technology affect students’ learning? (2) How will it affect professors’ teaching? (3) How will it affect assessment? (4) What would make faculty embrace this technology? From the insights provided by the participants we found that the perceived effects of HFAO technology were mixed. Future work aims to conduct additional focus groups with instructors and students at the graduate and undergraduate levels

Examining Longhand vs. Laptop Debate: A Replication Study

There is a considerable controversy regarding laptop usage in the classroom, with some studies arguing the benefits of laptops in the classroom and others suggesting that a laptop free environment is superior. In an effort to address this controversy, Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) conducted three different experiments to determine whether typing notes on a laptop or handwriting notes in a notebook impacted academic performance. This research replicated the first of these experiments in a classroom environment as opposed to a lab environment. The original study found that students who did not use laptops for note-taking in class performed better on conceptual application questions, while our study found that students who do not use laptops for note-taking in class performed better on factual recall questions instead. Our updated findings suggest there is more work to do to understand the longhand versus laptop debate
