1.0 Introduction
During the last couple of years FE colleges have shown an increasing interest in the
use of mobile technologies to provide students with more options when it comes to
accessing resources and information within the college environment. Mobile devices
such as smartphones, netbooks, tablet PCs and iPads are becoming an essential tool
for people who want more flexible access to their resources.
The last five years have seen a rapid growth in the capabilities of mobile technology
and the availability of mobile devices. This technological advancement, in combination
with perceived affordability, has led to these devices being acknowledged as a
ubiquitous learning tool by various researchers and educators in both FE and Higher
Education (Pollara & Broussard, 2011).
The use of mobile technology to access information provides huge opportunities for
colleges, students and publishers. There is a real potential for more flexible access to
learning resources, allowing students to maximise the use of time in their studies. As
publishers make available more high quality material, accessible on different types of
devices, Learning Resource Centres (LRCs) will need to meet the expectation of the
students regarding mobile access to these resources or risk becoming of less
importance to the learning experience of the student.
The Rhos LRC has had a Wi-Fi router in place in the ground floor library for about 18
months which has been advertised to students through the use of posters and on the
library PowerPoint presentation that plays continually in the library. The connection to
the internet is variable throughout the two floors of the LRC and thus not satisfactory.
This is indicative of the access to Wi-Fi throughout the Rhos campus as the college
management, together with the ICT department, have not fully committed to providing
a robust and extensive Wi-Fi service as yet.
In a recent presentation to all staff, the recently appointed college Chief Executive
appears to be keen on the use of mobile devices and through his future guidance and
enthusiasm the situation at the college should develop well. This vision for a mobile
enabled student campus dovetails well with the college’s on-going commitment to
4 165354
embracing the use of New Technology and providing up to date learning tools and
facilities for all types of learner.
There is however no current drive from the college for students to bring in their own
mobile devices, with the LRCs IT Workshop and HE study area providing 94 static PCs
for general use. This provides a ratio of one PC per every 160 students (based on a
student base of 15,000) which falls below the one per 100 ratio that is recommended in
the CoFHE Guidelines for Colleges Performance Indicators (Colleges of Further and
Higher Education Group of CILIP, 2007). Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) or Bring
Your Own Technology (BYOT) provides many benefits to both the college and
students, enabling personalised learning and engaged learners, leading to potential
increased participation, retention and learner satisfaction, as well as possible cost
efficiencies. (JISC, 2012).
It is evident that the future role of mobile devices in the learning process at FE colleges
must not be ignored and this provides the rationale for this report. LRCs must play a
major part in this process or risk being a less effective learning environment for
students in the future. The aims of this report being to examine the current situation in
the Rhos campus, to determine ways to improve the future use of mobile devices to
access learning resources and to recommend a way forward for the LRC and college
as a whole.
1.1 Aims
To investigate students’ level of interest in mobile device access to resources.
To establish student mobile device related needs
To discover the potential benefits of using mobile devices in our LRC.
To investigate the role our Learning Resource Service (LRS) needs to play in
facilitating the mobile device access to required resources.
5 165354
1.2 Hypothesis
Student interest in using mobile technology to access learning resources appears quite
low currently. It is probable that a good percentage of students have the appropriate
mobile devices such as smart phones, netbooks, laptops and iPads. However, they
decide not to bring some of these devices (particularly the larger screen devices) into
the college (LRC) due to security concerns or the lack of adequate Wi-Fi provision.
Also they predominantly use their mobile devices for non-college personal use.
Students would benefit from using mobile devices to access learning resources and
the LRS can help students to become more aware of and make more use of mobile
devices by promoting use, supporting and educating.
1.3 Objectives
1. Establish the availability of mobile devices amongst students
2. Establish the level of sophistication of students’ devices
3. Ascertain interest levels in accessing information using mobile devices
4. Ascertain the needs of students with regard to mobile device use
5. Establish the potential benefits of mobile device access to resources
6. Establish what is needed to improve the use of mobile devices for information
retrieval within our LRC
7. Raise the profile of mobile device use within our LRC
8. Influence the information retrieval behaviour of students by suggesting mobile
devices as an alternative method of accessing learning resources
2.0 Literature review
A literature search began in October 2012 in order to obtain ideas and background
information for my research. Prior to this, I had negotiated with my LRC Manager for
the LRC to purchase the book ‘M3-libraries’ (Ally & Needham, 2012) which was
recommened by CILIP and published by Facet. This book served as an ideal starting
point for my research with its many relevant good practice case studies.
6 165354
The growth of mobile devices and their potential to enhance access to learning
resources has been a popular topic of discussion in FE library related literature for
the past few years and as relatively new the amount of quality research is not prolific.
The literature is often examined as a means to engage with students who may not be
interacting effectively with the library and making the optimum use of the resources
available.
In order to cover as much relevant material as possible my literature search ran for
about five months until March 2013 and covered a wide range of on-line and in-print
sources. The articles reviewed for my research were all recent, published in the last
couple of years and as such they offer a broad examination of current attitudes
surrounding mobile devices. An extensive search covered a wide range of research
being carried out at other educational establishments, including the results of
surveys such as the Sheffield University survey (The University of Sheffield, 2011),
carried out on the use of mobile devices for learning. These proved invaluable when
designing the content of my own survey questionnaire.
The literature has revealed current trends in mobile device use and has proposed a
wide range of potential benefits of the use of mobile devices in libraries. A good
example being the book ‘M3-libraries’ (Ally & Needham, 2012) based on the
proceedings of the 2011 International M-Libraries conference, which explores the
variety of work being carried out globally to deliver resources via a growing plethora of
devices. The examples set out in the book dovetail well with my research and describe
various services that we could introduce in our LRC, including deploying an e-book
loan service and ways to use iPods as a teaching tool in the library. Each section
explains what worked, what did not work and what was learnt. The book is an excellent
reference with the only drawback being little reference to UK or FE libraries.
One theme that ran through many of the articles read is that if libraries intend to
provide students with mobile services they need to commit to a plan that includes
adequate and appropriate marketing of the services and their benefits. Training is also
seen as crucial, not only for the students in the use of the services but also for library
staff in the use of the various mobile technologies. Ally and Needham (2012) devote a
whole section in M3-Libraries to ‘people and skills’ including the preparedness of staff
to implement mobile technologies in libraries.

Research by Andrew Walsh, an academic Librarian at Huddersfield University, was
cited in many of the literature read. In his ‘Mobile phone services and UK Higher
Education students, what do they want from the library’ (Walsh, 2010) his research
shows that students felt that QR Codes were too complicated and had too high barriers
for them to be of widespread use, even though the only barrier is to install a free
application onto almost any camera phone. This reinforced a sense of apathy that I
have also perceived amongst the students in our library. Another particular area of
interest to me is the use of a mobile OPAC and the 2011 ‘Information and Learning
Services Student Satisfaction Survey’ by Worchester College suggested that this is a
facility that students are keen to use (Worcester College, 2011).
Jo Alcock a researcher at Birmingham University reported in CILIP’s Multi Media and
Technology Group Journal that ‘mobile is here to stay in libraries’ and will continue to
gain in popularity (Allcock, 2012). This journal, available to me as a CILIP group
member, brings together pathways to best practice throughout UK colleges in such
areas as access to resources using mobile devices, developing a mobile strategy for
the library and the loan of devices.
The surveys reviewed show that the ownership of mobile devices is steadily increasing
and although there is much research being carried at university library level, the FE
sector has been slower to react. Before our college can experiment in offering mobile
services, it needs to know what services are required by the students (Walsh, 2010)
and if they are ready and equipped for these mobile services. This is an important
consideration, with limited budgets available during the current financial climate.
From the literature it is clear that the current trend of mobile devices in FE libraries, in
general, is one that is in its embryonic stages and will continue to develop. As there is
less research available in FE libraries arena, particularly in Wales, my particular
research should help the college further its technology drive and provide some
reference for other FE colleges.

3.0 Methodology
The aims of the research project were met by carrying out a combination of primary
and secondary research. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were
employed to collect primary data from students. The main subject of the data collected
was of a college wide perspective which would have a direct bearing on students’
mobile device usage and habits in the LRC. Secondary data was obtained from an
extensive literature search which included the examination of data from similar studies
elsewhere, in academic journals and on-line articles, looking at relevant LRC aspects
as well as the college wide viewpoint.
3.1 Planning Stage
Prior to carrying out the actual research, a discussion of the ideas for the research
took place with LRC Senior staff. Our Learning Technologist, through his knowledge
of college wide ICT, assisted in formulating a sound raionale for the research. The
plan was submitted to Management for assesment in December 2012 and the
feedback obtained was very favourable. Comments and suggestions made regarding
the research were duly acknowledged and the plan was amended acordingly.
As part of the initial plan a Gantt project plan was created using the freeware
software GanttProject.
9 165354
The initial project plan was then revised to take into consideration feedback from the
research plan submission. It also became evident that the timings for certain tasks
needed some adjustment. The following revised plan was then used as a basis for
planning all the research project tasks and ensuring that the project ran smoothly in the
time available, in order to complete the project on time.
To further ensure that all the objectives were met, a plan outlining the three distinct
stages of the research was put together, indicating where and when the particular
objectives would be addressed. (Appendix 10.1)

3.2 Quantitative Methods (Survey Questionaire)
Having reviewed various surveys carried out for similar research at other colleges and
having listed the qualitative information that was required from the survey, a draft
questionnaire was created. This questionnaire was then shown to our Learning
Technologist to review and after some discussion an amended survey was produced.
The questions needed to be appropriate, coherent and unambiguous, in order to
induce the required responses and provide tangible data for analysis. Four levels of
answer choice were given (where possible) rather than three/five, in order to eliminate
persistent answers to a ‘middle answer’ choice. The questionnaire content was then
tested for ease of reading using the MS Word Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level test, the
results being a satisfactory 8.0.
The questionnaire contained a mixture of open and closed questions with mostly
closed questions and multi-choice level based questions to facilitate comprehensive
quantitative data analysis. This questionnaire was then used as the basis for a pilot
study with a class group of about eleven students who I sat with as they completed the
survey. During this session I put the group at ease by stating that I welcomed any form
of criticism. This encouraged and supported candour within the group, in order to
maximise the benefits of the group’s discussion of the questionnaire’s clarity and
content. Using the points discussed during this session the questionnaire was modified
again, including the addition of a QR Code graphic as some students did not know
what they looked like. The group showed a genuine interest in my research and I
offered to make the results available to them. After repeating the above process with a
different class group, a further revised version of the survey became the main survey
document. The finalised questionnaire can be seen as Appendix 10.2.
The survey comprised of a mixture of selective sampling and random sampling with
the strategy to negotiate with tutors to visit to a range of course level classes. As a
result the final version of the questionnaire was distributed to a wide range of student
cohorts. A random element was established also by inviting students in the library to
complete the questionnaire, on different days, randomly.
11 165354
A control type question (Appendix 10.2, question No.7) was part of the survey in order
to compare student use in college with their mobile habits at home. A minimum target
of 250 completed questionnaires was set, as this was considered an adequate sample
to reflect the student cohort’s views and gain credible results.
3.3 Qualitative Methods
Along with the qualitative information obtained from the closed survey questions,
students were invited through the questionaire to become focus group members.
About 25 students accepted the invitation and were invited by e-mail to answer some
further questions (devised using the survey results to date) preferably in person or by
return e-mail. About a quarter of the focus group replied by e-mail and a few came to
visit me in the LRC to discuss the questions in person, with a good rapport being
established with these students.
Informal random interviews with a few students also took place to discuss in general
the use of mobile devices, problems they encounter and safety/security issues. LRC
staff were also briefed on the research and their views and ideas were sought.
See Appendix 10.3 for focus group and informal interview questions and answers
3.4 Research into what other college libraries are doing
In discussions our Learning Technologist suggested some colleges who were
undertaking similar research. Swansea University’s e-Learning Advisor Catherine
Allemano (JISC RSC Wales) was undertaking similar research to mine and it was
agreed that we would share the results of our respective research projects. Sarah
Barker the Senior Learning Resource Assistant at Yale College (Wrexham) is the
CILIP recommended contact for mobile device research. Having contacted her, she
was able to signpost me to some interesting and useful statistics that I could compare
my results to. (Appendix 10.4)
Previous knowledge of research carried out for the FdA degree and ICTL courses had
me aware of the pioneering work being carried out by Bath, Huddersfield and
Birmingham universities with mobile technologies in libraries. In particular the work
12 165354
carried out by Huddersfield librarian Andrew Walsh aided the research that I carried
out while Birmingham’s Jo Alcock’s involvement with CILIP group MMIT signposted me
to the good work that other colleges are carrying out. Also through my WEB 2.0
activities such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Google alerts and JISCMail M-LIBRARIES group
membership; I was able to keep up to date with the latest developments in relevant
research being carried out. Using the Google Boolean search skills that I have
developed on the FdA course, I was able to access appropriate surveys that had been
carried out recently at many UK colleges and universities.
My subscription to CILIP Update and Panlibus magazines had given me, over the last
12 months, the ability to keep up to date with what other colleges are doing through
various reports and case studies. The ATHENS online journal search engine Infotrac
was also used to discover relevant research that had been carried out.
A recent visit to Deeside College revealed how they use loan laptops and Chrome
books which is proving very popular with students and providing benefits to their LRC
at times of high occupancy.
3.5 Analysis of findings
204 questionaires were completed and all the data was placed into an excel
spreadsheet, coded by question number and answer given (Appendix 10.5). There
were 44 quantitative elements of data and five descriptive qualitative elements for each
record. The data was totalled and subtotalled using formulated cells and pivot tables.
Each question was analysed and appropriate graphical representation of the data
produced.
Where more complex analysis was required (as in the case of students whom had
more than 3 devices) the data was exported to MS Access to form an equivalent
database that was queried using Access Standard Query Language (SQL) to provide
the required statistical data. (Appendix 10.6). The use of Excel’s Data Correlation tool
was used to highlight any correlation between answers to certain questions and to
identify any themes in the data. (Appendix 10.7)
The qualitative information from the closed questions, individual interviews and focus
groups was collated for analysis of the comments (Appendix 10.8)
13 165354
The research carried out on what other colleges were doing was cross referenced and
the best practices collated and stored in a Google drive and favourites folders.
4.0 Evaluation
Moderate levels of time constraints were imposed on the project, affecting the amount
of quantitative and qualitative research that was carried out. The impact however of
these constraints was minimised by careful planning and prudent attention to time
management. One consequence of the time constraints was that it was not possible to
produce a bilingual questionnaire. Although the target of 250 completed questionnaires
was not met due to time constraints, 204 completions (82% of target) still provided a
satisfactory amount of data to analyse in order to gain meaningful results.
The pilot survey proved a success with satisfactory information being obtained in order
to produce a revised and improved final questionnaire. Meeting in person with the
students in their class groups improved the chances of a better response and enabled
different cohorts to be targeted such as GCE, IB, PGCE, Access and BTEC students.
In visiting the classrooms I was able to explain the aims of the survey and also
normalise any tensions created by students’ reluctance to complete surveys. In some
instances after briefing the tutors, they themselves agreed to supervise the students’
completion of the questionnaire, which also worked well. The combination of software
tools used to evaluate the survey data enabled a broad and detailed analysis, which
would facilitate comprehensive research results.
The various methods employed to research what other colleges are doing with mobile
devices yielded very satisfactory information for my particular research. The research
skills that I have enhanced through the research modules of the FdA course have
equipped me with the ability to effectively and efficiently search on-line, obtaining the
most relevant, trustworthy and up to date information available. My increased use of
WEB 2.0 tools such as RSS feeds, Google Alerts and Twitter have gleaned much
useful information, including peer reviewed information. Research found via Infotrac
was mostly from non-UK colleges who were at an advanced stage of use of mobile
devices.

5.0 Results
A total of 204 students completed the questionaire in a suitable manner.

Surveys were completed by a good range of ages, with about 50 percent in the
younger 16-18 range (reflecting the college demographics) and by approximately as
many female as male respondents.
In examining the students who possessed more than two mobile devices and therefore
more likely prevalent users of mobile technology, it is evident that there is little gender
difference in this category of student, with only a slight lean to a greater percentage of
females having more than two devices. This is not particularly representative of most
recent studies that show that males are the more likely users of technology in
education (Sarapin, 2012). Also comparing the age demographics of all surveyed with

proportionally more devices, which may be related to their percieved healthier financial
situation.
A healthy 95.6 % of students possesed an internet enabled device which shows how
prevalent ownership of a resonable specification device is in the college.

128 of students surveyed (63%) have a mobile device other than a smartphone such
as Tablet PC, PC Laptop, MacBook or iPad. As can be seen below roughly one in
seven brought these device in most days and about a half never brought these larger
display devices in to college.
One of the reasons for not bringing these larger screen devices in was the lack of
confidence in Wi-Fi shown in the chart below with only about one third of students
making regular use of Wi-Fi. This was also evident in the focus groups and interviews
carried out (Appendix 10.3).

87% of students use their mobile devices on a daily basis at home with a slightly lower
83% using them as regularly in college. Of the 167 who regularly use a mobile device
at home, 13% less (145) also use a device regularly in college. The results of this
‘control’ question shows a reluctance for some students (about 1 in 8) to use their
devices regularly in college.
In looking at what devices are used for, non-course related usage such as Facebook,
e-mail and web browsing rank high on student usage; whereas 30% were using their
devices to access their Moodle learning resources.

About three out of four students were keen to access mobile learning resources.
82% of students expressed a desire for mobile resources to be further developed with
61% requesting moodle courses to be made mobile available. A quarter would like to
see a library App developed. Appendix 10.10 shows some development of an App
carried out by myself.

When asked what would benefit studies, a high 82% wanted full college Wi-Fi
coverage and 38% thought that loan devices would be beneficial. These opinions were
both reinforced through the focus group and interviews. (Appendix 10.3)
An indication of students’ inclination to use mobile devices for learning resources is the
fact that 62% would still rather use a static PC to access their resources.
QR codes have been in the library for about 18 months and can be used to link
mobiles to learning resources. A disappointing 18% have scanned QR codes.

Some correlation was observed in the data (Appendix 10.7), showing some negative
and positive correlation between answers to questions. The table in Appendix 10.9
shows details of the correlation most useful to the research project.
Additional qualitative information gained from the open survey questions, focus groups
and interviews can be seen in Appendix 10.8. The main comments made were about
the lack of sufficient Wi-Fi, the concerns about security of devices (especially the larger
screen devices).
In looking at what other college LRCs are doing with regards to mobile devices the
following good practices that could benefit students were discovered:
Loan of mobile devices to students in the LRC – frees up the static PCs so that
more students can find a PC to use.
Use of devices for inductions – audio/video instruction on the move and
completion of on-line evaluation forms.
LRC tours using mobile device interaction with QR codes
Library Apps for both Android and Apple devices.
Mobile versions of OPAC (with use of loan devices)
Promoting the use of official Mobile Moodle APP (Moodle version 2.1 or above)
Drop in training /demo sessions for students to try out devices and access to
learning resources.

5.1 Discussion
On the whole the majority of the results are in line with my general hypothesis, with
none of the individual survey results standing out in disagreement with my hypothesis.
The results are similar in most areas to results obtained from other college surveys,
especially in the types of devices used and the frequency of use at home and in
college. The survey showed that the mobile access of resources is generally lower
than other college surveys have shown, the most probable reasons being lack of
confidence in Wi-Fi connectivity (31% failing to connect) and student awareness of the
potential benefits.
The volume of data collected is lower than most other surveys carried out at the
colleges that I have researched which needs to be taken into consideration when
comparing with their results.
5.2 Limitations of research
Time constraints for the project meant that the numbers of students surveyed
and interviewed were not as quite as high as initially envisaged and as a result
there is potentially some generalisation in the results.
Having a research assistant to help circulate the questionnaire and input survey
data would have potentially enabled a larger sample group in the time available.
Access to some potentially useful research, signposted by academics, was not
available to view due to a subscription/password being required.
No research or data was obtained on accessibility /disability issues concerning
the use of mobile devices
The above limitations should be addressed accordingly in any future similar reports.

6.0 Conclusion
Most students seem to have a mobile device with adequate sophistication to allow
them to access learning resources. There is evidence of a desire for students to
access resources on their devices with 77% surveyed being keen to do so, with the
ability to access Moodle courses on their devices being an area that they would like to
see improved. The main deterrent to them using their devices is the current poor Wi-Fi
coverage in the LRC/college campus and also the lack of a secure place to store their
devices in college. There is no evidence collected in the survey to suggest any
demographic (gender/age) influence on the results.
There is evidence of students’ lack of desire to be innovative in their access to
resources with only 18% having used a QR code and 62% preferring the use of static
PCs. There is however a healthy interest in the availability of a college App which
could provide a good starting point and access portal to learning resources available
such as Moodle, OPAC, TARDiS and ATHENS.
Current mobile access is mostly for personal use with only about 30% accessing
learning resources. This could be improved when the college upgrades Moodle to
version 2 in September 2013, allowing students to view course material more
efficiently using the official Moodle App.
As a centre of learning for the college, the LRC is ideally positioned to become a
‘centre of excellence’ with regard to mobile device use. In being more proactive in
marketing, promoting and providing students with information and guidance; more
students would benefit from having improved access to information and learning
resources through their mobile devices, enabling an enhanced LRC and college
experience.
This report will be communicated to LRS management and will help to develop future
plans to raise the profile of and improve access to learning resources using mobile
devices. There is also a personal need for me to further my continued professional
development by looking more closely at successful projects at other colleges and
collaborating with them were feasible in the future.

7.0 Recommendations
The table below shows a timescale for recommendations.
The recommendations involve the LRS taking a much more proactive approach in
promoting and demonstrating the benefits of Wi-Fi and the use of mobile devices. The
improvements to Wi-Fi coverage, highlighted in the survey results, need to be made a
priority, with the following recommendations relying on a robust network with
comprehensive campus coverage. A staff training programme would be necessary to
improve skills and knowledge of devices that could then be used to assist students.

All,
Thank you so much for completing my Student Mobile Technology Survey. Your answers have been very beneficial to the research module that I am undertaking for my FdA. You indicated on the survey form that you would be willing to answer some further questions. If you have the time (and I realise it is a very busy time with course work loads!) could you please reply briefly to the following questions - - The majority of students have said that they NEVER bring their Laptop, Netbook, iPad or Tablet PC into college- Why do you think this is the case? - Some college libraries hire Laptops/Netbooks/iPads out for 2 or 3 hour sessions for use in the library only. Do you think that would benefit students in our college? - What could the library do to further promote the use of mobile devices eg. training, demos, design of library etc.? - Any other comments that you may have? You could reply with your answers/comments to this e-mail or if you prefer you could visit me in person (anytime) in the Library/IT Workshop to discuss.

Summary of Comments obtained from Focus Group and informal interviews
I never bring my tablet/laptop into college as I have never been able to connect them
to the wifi, which is the main thing i would use them for.
I personally wouldn't want to borrow one from the library. I would prefer to bring my
own and be able to connect to the wifi.
I think maybe they are worried about security? I don't bring it because I have enough
things to carry but a few in my class do. If I want to send an email I use my phone as
have data connection can’t get a strong wifi in college therefore a laptop may not get
good signal
I believe that most students don't bring their own laptops etc due to safety reasons,
either they may be lost/stolen or easily dropped/damaged. I also think
the sufficient number of computers available in the college deems it unnecessary to
bring your own in.
It could possibly benefit students if a 'hire' system was available, maybe more so on
portable devices such as laptops and ipads, however if you were unable to leave the
library, there are already a good number of devices available to use within it.
I think the free wifi and space available is already sufficient and encouraging for
students to bring in their own devices.
A library App would be a good idea to encourage mobile use Training sessions and demos on use of QR codes and how to use the OPAC on your mobile device could be run at the start of each term
