Answer 1

Previous research provided limited documentation of both beneficial and challenging laptop behaviours in higher education classrooms making it difficult to draw comparisons. the current study provided a comprehensive analysis of both positive and negative laptop behaviours using laptop survey and qualitative data. Beneficial behaviours observed included note-taking activities, in class laptop-based academic tasks, collaboration, increased focus, improved organisation and efficiency and addressing special needs. Challenges included other students' distracting laptop behaviours, instant messaging, surfing the web, playing games, watching movies and decreased focus. Almost 3 quarters of the students claimed that laptops were useful in supporting the in-class academic experience. Beneficial behaviours were reported more often than challenging behaviours by a factor of 2:1. It is postulated that actively integrating meaningful laptop activities in to classroom will increase the frequency of beneficial laptop behaviours.

Answer 13

 
Because of decreased prices, increased convenience, and wireless access, an increasing number
of college and university students are using laptop computers in their classrooms. This recent
trend has forced instructors to address the educational consequences of using these mobile
devices. The purpose of the current study was to analyze and assess beneficial and challenging
laptop behaviours in higher education classrooms. Both quantitative and qualitative data were
collected from 177 undergraduate university students (89 males, 88 females). Key benefits
observed include note-taking activities, in-class laptop-based academic tasks, collaboration,
increased focus, improved organization and efficiency, and addressing special needs. Key
challenges noted include other student’s distracting laptop behaviours, instant messaging, surfing
the web, playing games, watching movies, and decreased focus. Nearly three-quarters of the
students claimed that laptops were useful in supporting their academic experience. Twice as
many benefits were reported compared to challenges. It is speculated that the integration of
meaningful laptop activities is a critical determinant of benefits and challenges experienced in
higher education classrooms.

Answer 21

By saying Primary audience its not referring to the Primary school students or by saying secondary audience, its not referring to secondary students Primary audiences are those who receive the communication directly. Secondary, or "hidden", audiences include anyone who may indirectly receive a copy of the communication. These include anyone who will receive a copy, need to approve, will hear about, or be affected by your message. You should determine the level of knowledge, interest, and any potential biases the audience may have with regard to your message.
