Changing Attitudes Toward Technology: A Multi-Institutional Study on Student Perceptions of Mobile Apps Replacing Textbooks Before and After App Use


 Date Presented 04/04/19
 This report will discuss multi-institutional data regarding student perceptions on the use of a mobile app as a required textbook before and after use. Outcomes reveal that student preference for using a mobile app over a traditional textbook improve significantly after exposure in a lab setting. When introducing new technologies, it is important to acknowledge how lack of experience can affect student preconceived notions and how attitudes can be altered after exposure within a classroom.
