THE PRO
BLEMThe Problem
• Students don’t pay attention in large lectures
• Technology further distracts students • Professors frustrated with use of
laptops, tablets, and cell phones in class
• Disconnect between college professors and 21st century student
• Why not take advantage of technology (and the internet) to improve the student experience?
This happens too frequently…
