  1. Engaging Non-traditional Students with Mobile Learning: CUNY John Jay and Cleveland State University

  2. Introducing projects - CSU • Samsung Galaxy Tabs with Sprint data plans distributed to 2 sections of MTH 87 (approx. 40 students) • Lecture Sessions were Captured (Mimio Teach and Capture) • Students could Access Lectures on Tabs or computer • Group Board for virtual tutoring

Student Profile - CSU • Deficient in Math • Unprepared for College • Only 40% of the students taking MTH 87 will pass the course • CSU is largely a commuter campus—students often work one or more jobs while attending • High Attrition rate, only 28% of low-income, first generation students graduate after 8 years

  8. Outcomes - CSU • Success Rate • Galaxy Tab Sections=53% • All Sections=37% • Attrition Rate • Galaxy Tab Sections=10% • All Sections=13.3%

  9. Outcomes – CUNY John Jay • “I believe that if Bb Mobile Learn were made to be a part of our program, more students… would be much more likely to participate in class assignments. Bb Mobile Learn is a reflection of the on-the- go student life.” – Sade, John Jay • “Being able to read assignments through a mobile application such as Bb Mobile Learn makes it easier for students on the go who must work while attending school.” – Rodney, John Jay • “Bb Mobile Learn made learning fun. I enjoy getting course information the same way I get all the other information in my life - via my smartphone.” – Kelly, John Jay • “Bb Mobile Learn allowed me to access course material from work, where my organization usually blocks outside websites.” – Joe • “Never before have I been able to have an entire course in my pocket.” – Adam, Professor, John Jay

  10. Mobile in the Classroom • Bb Mobile enters their world – meeting them, giving them a service on their level. • Should lead to greater retention and satisfaction. Better academic outcomes will be more than a fringe benefit – hits the pot of gold. • Where are we going from here?
