Student Device Use in the Classroom

Smartphones and laptop use in the classroom remain at the center of research on learning and teaching. What are these key findings? How do such findings impact us as instructors? How can this research support student learning at Miami? Center attention, course goals, and learning in decisions about device use in your classroom with ORBIT, a personalized and useful tool from the CTE.

Access ORBIT to get personalized recommendations on a device approach aligned with your course goals and learning environment. You'll also learn more about the latest research on attention and technology use to inform key decisions that can impact your students' learning. 

We are appreciative of you taking a few moments to provide feedback on ORBIT after you interact with the tool. Thank you!

The CTE is grateful to Nicholas Barry ('26 B.S., M.S.) for developing ORBIT in collaboration with CTE Director, Ellen Yezierski.
