Abstract

The use of technology in higher education has become the rule rather than the exception; advancing technologies, such as mobile devices, is an inescapable transition for faculty members. This study explored the lived-experiences of eight full time faculty members who adopted a mobile device to support teaching and learning. The study focused on understanding how training was experienced, how mobile devices were adopted, and how the use of mobile devices affected engagement practices.
