Welcome,Freshmen. Have an iPod.
Taking a step that many professors may view as
a bit
counterproductive, some colleges and
universities are doling
out Apple iPhones and
Internet-capable iPods to their students.
The
always-on Internet devices raise some novel
possibilities,
like tracking where students
gather together. With far less
controversy,
colleges could send messages about canceled
classes, delayed buses, campus crises or just
the cafeteria
menu.
While schools
emphasize its usefulness —online research in
class and instant polling of students, for
example — a big part
of the attraction is,
undoubtedly, that the iPhone is cool and a
hit
with students. Being equipped with one of the most
recent
cutting-edge IT products could just
help a college or university
foster a cutting-
edge reputation.
Apple stands to win as well,
hooking more young consumers
with decades of
technology purchases ahead of them. The lone
losers, some fear, could be professors.
Students already have laptops and cell phones,
of course, but
the newest devices can take
class distractions to a new level.
They
practically beg a user to ignore the long-
suffering
professor struggling to pass on
accumulated wisdom from the
front of the room
— a prospect that teachers find most irritating
and students view as, well, inevitable.
“When it gets a little boring, I might pull it
out,” acknowledged
Naomi Pugh, a first-year
student at Freed-Hardeman
University in
Henderson, Term., referring to her new iPod
Touch, which can connect to the Internet over
a campus
wireless network. She speculated that
professors might try
even harder to make
classes interesting if they were to
compete
with the devices.
Experts see a movement
toward the use of mobile technology
in
education, though they say it is in its infancy as
professors
try to come up with useful
applications. Providing powerful
handheld
devices is sure to fuel debates over the role of
technology in higher education.
“We think
this is the way the future is going to work,” said
Kyle
Dickson, co-director of research and the
mobile learning
initiative at Abilene
Christian University in Texas, which has
bought more than 600 iPhones and 300 iPods for
students
entering this fall.
Although
plenty of students take their laptops to class,
they
don’t take them everywhere and would
prefer something
lighter. Abilene Christian
settled on the devices after surveying
students and finding that they did not like
hauling around their
laptops, but that most of
them always carried a cell phone, Dr.
Dickson
said.
It is not clear how many colleges and
universities plan to give
out iPhones and
iPods this fall; officials at Apple were unwilling
to talk about the subject and said that they
would not leak any
institution’s plans.
“We can’t announce other people’s news,”said
Greg Joswiak,
vice president of iPod and
iPhone marketing at Apple. He also
said that
he could not discuss discounts to universities for
bulk
purchases.
At least four institutions
— the University of Maryland,
Oklahoma
Christian University, Abilene Christian and
Freed-Hardeman — have announced that they will
give the
devices to some or all of their
students this fall.
Other universities are
exploring their options. Stanford
University
has hired a student-run company to design
applications like a campus map and directory
for the iPhone. It
is considering whether to
issue iPhones but not sure it,
snecessary,
noting that more than 700 iPhones were registered
on the university’s network last year.
At the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, iPhones might
already have been
everywhere, if AT&T, the wireless carrier
offering the iPhone in the United States, had
a more reliable
network, said Andrew Yu,
mobile devices platform project
manager at
M.I.T.
“We would have probably gone ahead with
this, maybe just
getting a thousand iPhones
and giving them out,” Mr. Yusaid.
The
University of Maryland at College Park is
proceeding
cautiously, giving the iPhone or
iPod Touch to 150 students,
said Jeffrey
Huskamp, vice president and chief information
officer at the university. “We don’t think
that we have all the
answers,” Mr. Huskamp
said. By observing how students use
the
gadgets, he said, “We’re trying to get answers
from the
students.”
At each college, the
students who choose to get an iPhone must
pay
for mobile phone service. Those service contracts
include
unlimited data use. Both the iPhones
and the iPod Touch
devices can connect to the
Internet through campus wireless
networks.
With the iPhone, those networks may provide faster
connections and longer battery life than
AT&T’s data network.
Many cell phones allow
users to surf the Web, but only some
newer
ones are capable of wireless connection to the
local area
computer network.
University
officials say that they have no plans to track
their
students (and Apple said it would not be
possible unless
students give their
permission). They say that they are drawn
to
the prospect of learning applications outside the
classroom,
though such lesson plans have yet
to surface.
“My colleagues and I are
studying something called augmented
reality (a
field of computer research dealing with the
combination of real-world and virtual
reality),” said Christopher
Dede, professor in
learning technologies at Harvard University.
“Alien Contact,” for example, is an exercise
developed for
middle-school students who use
hand-held devices that can
determine their
location. As they walk around a playground or
other area, text, video or audio pops up at
various points to
help them try to figure out
why aliens were in the schoolyard.
“You can
imagine similar kinds of interactive activities
along
historical lines,” like following the
Freedom Trail in Boston,
Professor Dede said.
“It’s important that we do research, so
that
we know how well something like this works.”
The rush to distribute the devices worries
some professors,
who say that students are
less likely to participate in class if
they
are multi-tasking. “I’m not someone who’s
anti-technology, but I,m always worried that
technology
becomes an end in and of itself,
and it replaces teaching or it
replaces
analysis,,’ said Ellen Millender, associate
professor of
classics at Reed College in
Portland, Ore. (She added that she
hoped to
buy an iPhone for herself once prices fall.)
Robert Summers, who has taught at Cornell Law
School for
about 40 years, announced this week
— in a detailed, footnoted
memorandum —that he
would ban laptop computers from his
class on
contract law.
“I would ban that too if I knew
the students were using it in
class,”
Professor Summers said of the iPhone, after the
device
and its capabilities were explained to
him. “What we want to
encourage in these
students is an active intellectual experience,
in which they develop the wide range of
complex reasoning
abilities required of good
lawyers.”
The experience at Duke University
may ease some concerns. A
few years ago, Duke
began giving iPods to students with the
idea
that they might use them to record lectures (these
older
models could not access the Internet).
“We had assumed that the biggest focus of
these devices would
be consuming the content,”
said Tracy Futhey, vice president
for
information technology and chief information
officer at
Duke.
But that is not all that
the students did. They began using the
iPods
to create their own “content,” making audio
recordings of
themselves and presenting them.
The students turned what
could have been a
passive interaction into an active one, Ms.
Futhey said.
