abstract |
We explore how small-format laptops ('netbooks') have been used within evidence-based
investigations undertaken by secondary school students, to what extent these are suitable
for effectively supporting learners across different locations and contexts, and their
implications for open learning. Over the course of seven trials with 300 students
and seven teachers we have gathered data on how netbooks have been used in formal
and informal learning contexts, bridging school, field locations and home. The netbooks
have supported individual, group and class tasks, and acted as both stand-alone and
networked devices. Three themes have emerged: the use of a single device to support
inquiries across activities and places; student use and appropriation; and organisation
and management. We conclude that netbooks are a category of device that can be highly
effective in supporting open learning, although careful consideration is required
when considering their deployment and use. |
