Baird, William; Pizano, Adrian; Ruff, Jordan – Physics Teacher, 2022
The global positioning system (GPS) must be familiar to every user of a smartphone as a way to locate one's position on Earth to within several meters. The constellation of orbiting atomic clocks equipped with radio transmitters allows receivers on Earth to determine their own position by measuring the travel times of radio signals from multiple…

Sanchez, Irene M. – National College Attainment Network, 2021
Text Steps was a project piloted by Ascendium Education Group in 2015 and expanded to 13 school districts in Wisconsin between 2018 and 2020. Its goal was to combat summer melt through a texting program. Summer melt, in which college-intending high school students are unable to enroll in the fall for any number of reasons, is a well-documented…

Kocak, Omer; Goktas, Yuksel – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2021
Smartphones, which enable us to be online everywhere and every time, are also commonly used by students today. This study aims to reveal undergraduate students' habits of using smartphones. With this purpose, the phone usage track application was installed on students' smartphones, and their 7-day use was recorded with the application and was then…

Gallitto, Aurelio Agliolo; Battaglia, Onofrio Rosario; Fazio, Claudio – Physics Education, 2021
We describe an educational activity that can be done by using smartphones to collect data in physics experiments aimed to measure the oscillating period of a spring-mass system and the elastic constant of the helicoidal spring by the dynamic method. Results for the oscillating period and for the elastic constant of the spring agree very well with…

Willis, Malachi; Jozkowski, Kristen N. – Journal of American College Health, 2018
Objective: Our objectives were to measure reporting differences between sexual behavior data from daily diary and retrospective estimates and to assess the utility of using smartphones to collect sexual behavior data from a college student population. Participants: Eighty-six participants (68 women, 18 men) completed the study. Methods: For…

O'Donoghue, Rebekah; Ratledge, Alyssa – MDRC, 2020
MDRC has studied a number of proven strategies for helping students stay in college and succeed there, the most effective of which combine advisers or coaches who actively reach out to students, decision-making informed by data, and extra financial support. Lessons from some of these models may be readily adapted to support students and close…

Arnold, Karen D.; Owen, Laura; Lewis, Jonathan – Journal of College Access, 2020
Making college access and success more equitable at a national scale requires alternatives to intensive in-person modes of pre-college advising. Text-message advising campaigns are a promising intervention model for delivering college application and financial aid assistance affordably to large populations of college-intending, low-income…

Fryer, Luke K.; Nakao, Kaori – Frontline Learning Research, 2020
Self-report is a fundamental research tool for the social sciences. Despite quantitative surveys being the workhorses of the self-report stable, few researchers question their format--often blindly using some form of Labelled Categorical Scale (Likert-type). This study presents a brief review of the current literature examining the efficacy of…

Mikhailova, Elena A.; Post, Christopher J.; Zurqani, Hamdi A.; Younts, Grayson L. – Education Sciences, 2022
Crowdsourcing is an important tool for collecting spatio-temporal data, which has various applications in education. The objectives of this study were to develop and test a laboratory exercise on soil erosion by water and field data crowdsourcing in an online introductory soil science course (FNR 2040: Soil Information Systems) at Clemson…

Senger, Kim; Nordmo, Ivar – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
The emergence of digital tools, including tablets with a multitude of built-in sensors, allows gathering many geological observations digitally and in a geo-referenced context. This is particularly important in the polar environments where (1) limited time is available at each outcrop due to harsh weather conditions, and (2) outcrops are rarely…

Ilic, Peter – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
This paper reflects on an attempt to introduce smartphones into a blended learning context and highlights several methodological considerations relevant to the collection of mobile data. While mixed methods are now common, using this approach for investigating the challenges of mobile data collection is not as common. This study employed a mixed…
