Officials from the universities said that the devices from Apple Inc. may enhance the student’s learning experience. It lets the students conduct their research while they were in class. They may also easily respond to the polls given by their professors. Moreover, students may get their homework wirelessly and electronically.
On the other hand, the devices from Apple Inc. also allow the students to send each other text messages while they are on class. This is something that the professors were worried about.
According to Naomi Pugh, a first-year student studying at the Freed-Hardeman University located in Henderson, Tennessee, when things get a little
boring inside the classroom, it can be very tempting to pull the device out sometime. The student referred to her iPod Touch. Naomi Pugh said that the she hope that the professors might try even harder to make their class more interesting if they know that while they teach, they are competing with Apple Inc. devices and other devices as well.
Kyle Dixon, the co-director at the Abilene Christian University, offered 300 iPods and 600 iPhones to the incoming students this autumn. He said that the students were no longer interested with laptops. They now want something that they can carry around just like a mobile phone.
