What are the Alternative Functions and Benefits of Cell Phones for Students?

David Blasco Department of Education, 國立中正大學, Jia Yi, Taiwan  ABSTRACT Taiwanese College students bring their own cell phones in the English classroom and teachers may become overwhelmed with these technology trends. This study aims to provide a realistic perception of the hidden meanings of the use of mobile devices in English class settings and the benefits it can bring to the students. For this purpose, two conventional classes of fourth year license degree in the Department of Travel Management were the respondents. The students’ schooling experiences were clarified with a student satisfaction questionnaire, their values highlighted with an interview, and their social interactions explained with observations of the two classes. The results of this study show that, even though they were not used to working collaboratively in small team-work groups, Taiwanese students were highly likely to develop a collaborative learning style that utilizes emails and internet connections mat

International Journal on Integrating Technology in Education (IJITE) ISSN : 2320 - 1886(Online; 2320 - 3935(Print)  http://airccse.org/journal/ijite/home.html ABSTRACT E-Learning applied to computer programming course design is a promising area of research. The student having clear understanding of the programming constructs can apply it to solve various problems. Because of limited time and availability, the instructor can go back to some extent to cover the weaknesses of their students that hinder the understanding of the problems. As more lessons are covered, the weak students become weaker in programming. To cope up with these problems an e-learning system is devised which the student can use anywhere and at any time as a web application. It comprises of both tutoring and assessment and also provides guiding the students to error correction using back-tracking technique to refine the concepts and reattempt the programming problem.
