DESCRIPTION

This study seeks to understand how a student’s maturity level (as indicated by identity status) influences the use of a mobile learning device (i.e. iPhone, iPod Touch). First-year students in a Midwestern 4-year private liberal arts university completed self-report online surveys indicating identity status and frequency of use of a mobile device (either an iPhone or iPod Touch). Results suggest that less mature students are more likely to use a mobile learning device to collaborate with classmates on assignments and activities. More mature students are more likely to use a mobile learning device to interact with professors about coursework, and are more likely to interact and communicate with their parents.
