Technology helps improve grades and makes it possible
to study from anywhere, according to students who responded to a 2016 survey
from McGraw-Hill Education. The report noted 74% said they preferred to study at home, while 82% claimed digital tools helped
them spend more time studying.
The research found that more than 90% of students use
laptops and 60% make use of their smartphone to study. More than half said digital
learning technology saved them time, better prepared them for class, and gave
them more confidence in their knowledge of the course materials.
“College students enjoy and regularly use digital
learning technology,” the authors of the report wrote.
“Overall, college students agree that digital learning technology is helpful
across a wide variety of activities, including doing homework, preparing for
exams, and doing research.”
