Impacts of Using Laptop at University Level- A Survey-Based Approach

Abstract

    A survey-based research study has been directed to reveal the impacts of using laptops at the university level. For this research, BS Mathematics and BS Physics students, both morning and evening sessions of Universities in South Punjab, Pakistan, were taken as a population. The population consists of 240 students and 10 teachers of four Universities in South Punjab. The sample of 112 students and10 teachers was taken by the Random sampling technique. Questionnaires and interviews were used as a research tool. The consequences of the research study discovered that most of the students used laptops for study purposes like making assignments on Microsoft word and presentations on PowerPoint. The results of teachers questionnaires revealed that most of the teachers used laptops for the preparation of lecturers and for different academic activities.
