The first study examined the effects of wireless technology and mobile devices on e-learning through a survey of 300 students across three universities. The survey evaluated students' perceptions of how wireless technology and mobile devices impact e-learning, and whether demographic factors like course of study, age, or gender influence effectiveness. The second study discussed how e-portfolios can empower students by allowing them to maintain an ongoing record of learning, develop ownership over their learning, and reflect on their experience. E-portfolios also enable faculty by providing opportunities for increased feedback and assessment while helping them work more efficiently. E-portfolios enrich the learning experience by aligning instruction to student needs and connecting curricular and extra-curricular learning.
