mLearning Logic Model

The initiative aims to enhance students' digital literacy by implementing a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) class culture. Through structured short, medium, and long-term outcomes, the program seeks to engage students more effectively in their studies, leveraging their familiarity with personal devices.

Remediation

Students needing additional support with finding credible information can also see a writing tutor
Students needing additional credit can follow the instructor on Twitter and earn points for answering questions relevant to course discussions
Students needing additional support with any area can meet with the instructor once or twice a week for guidance

In-class research activity each class meeting

Search for theories such as "Invariant Right"
Search for terms such as "bias"

Research essay

In-class collaborative writing four times over duration of course

Regular attendance (twice a week for 16 weeks)

Assumptions: Students are more focused on their devices in class rather than the instructor, and students are lacking in digital literacy skills. Digital literacy is an important skill for continued success after college.

Long Term

Graduates have an awareness of their online social presence

Graduates have some basic media skills

Graduates can collaborate with co-workers effectively face-to-face and remotely

Graduates have a basic knowledge for how to use a smartphone and a computer (possibly a tablet)

College graduates can find relevant, credible information online

Medium Term

Students are able to write essays that utilize credible information from the web

Students use tools for collaborative communication in later courses or for personal projects

In subsequent courses, students use their devices to create media for presentations

Students are able to find credible resources on topics in other courses

Short Term

After 16 weeks, students have a more positive attitude towards using a device for learning in and out of class

After 16 weeks, students demonstrate knowledge of how to utilize a device to find credible, pertinent information evident in in-class discussions and research essay

After 8 weeks, students are more likely to use a device in class to find information pertinent to class than for some other purpose

After 8 weeks, students demonstrate knowledge of how to utilize a device to create media for a presentation evident in group presentation
