本文报道了一项研究，该研究探讨了使用无线笔记本电脑促进演讲霍尔斯主动学习的情况。这项研究调查了学生在课堂上的行为和他们对连续三个学期的新学习环境的看法。一项在线调查显示，学生对使用无线笔记本电脑有非常积极的看法，但对课堂活跃的看法不太积极。课堂观察表明，无线笔记本电脑的使用增强了以学生为中心，动手和探索性学习，以及有意义的学生与学生和学生与教师的互动。然而，研究结果也表明，如果用于非学习目的，无线笔记本电脑可能会成为分散注意力的来源。
This paper reports on a study that examined the use of wireless laptops for promoting active learning in lecture halls. The study examined students' behavior in class and their perceptions of the new learning environment throughout three consecutive semesters. An online survey revealed that students have highly positive perceptions about the use of wireless laptops, but less positive perceptions about being active in class. Class observations showed that the use of wireless laptops enhances student-centered, hands-on, and exploratory learning, as well as meaningful student-to-student and student-to-instructor interactions. However, findings also show that wireless laptops can become a source of distraction, if used for non-learning purposes.
