我们探讨了小尺寸笔记本电脑（“上网本”）如何在中学生进行的循证调查中使用，在多大程度上这些适合有效地支持不同地点和环境的学习者，以及它们对开放式学习的影响。在对300名学生和7名教师进行的7次试验中，我们收集了关于上网本如何在正式和非正式学习环境中使用的数据，这些数据连接了学校、外地和家庭。上网本支持个人、团体和班级任务，既可以作为独立设备，也可以作为联网设备。出现了三个主题：使用单一设备来支持跨活动和地点的查询;学生使用和拨款;以及组织和管理。我们的结论是，上网本是一类设备，可以非常有效地支持开放式学习，虽然仔细考虑时，需要考虑他们的部署和使用。
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.
