Dumke, Romy and Dittmar, Anke (2011): An exploratory study about the everyday use of digital material in university education. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 115-118.

“Motivation -- We were interested in exploring everyday usage practices of digital material that developed within traditional university education. Research approach -- Different methods were applied simultaneously: interview, diary keeping and questionnaire. The data from the inquiry methods were first analysed separately and, then, merged in a concluding discussion. Findings/Design -- The results suggest that the use of digital material is widely accepted among students and teachers. The study also reveals the critical approach of many participants. Teachers and students appropriate digital artefacts in a continuous learning process. The study suggests usage patterns but also describes individual work styles. Research limitations/Implications -- The study has an exploratory character. It was conducted in one university and with a small sample size. Participation was voluntarily. The results cannot be generalized but encourage further studies. Originality/Value -- There are studies evaluating the use of computer artefacts in learning environments. However, there exists few work exploring overall effects on everyday practices in university education. Take away message -- The study of artefact use allows insights into current teaching and learning practices. It supports reflection and change.”
