The construction management (CM) curriculum is constantly adjusting to keep pace with changes and developments in industry. Often times, CM programs will make use of an industry advisory committee to make sure that the program remains relevant and is aligned with the needs of industry. Technology is a common subject when faculty and industry professionals converge. At times the path is clear for what needs to be done, and other times no real direction is provided to make sure that universities are doing what is necessary to meet the needs of industry. In this study, a detailed survey was administered to industry professionals with the intent of using this data to inform CM academic programs in terms of what mobile device would be best to use. Eventually, this data will prove useful in helping faculty design course curricula to include the right kind of mobile device for the right type of learning activity.

Evaluation and Program Planning

Program evaluation has become increasingly important, and information on program performance often drives funding decisions. Technology use and integration can help ease the burdens associated with program evaluation by reducing the resources needed (e.g., time, money, staff) and increasing evaluation efficiency. This paper reviews how program evaluators, across disciplines, can apply internet and mobile technologies to key aspects of program evaluation, which consist of participant registration, participant tracking and retention, process evaluation (e.g., fidelity, assignment completion), and outcome evaluation (e.g., behavior change, knowledge gain). In addition, the paper focuses on the ease of use, relative cost, and fit with populations. An examination on how these tools can be integrated to enhance data collection and program evaluation is discussed. Important limitations of and considerations for technology integration, including the level of technical skill, cost needed to integrate various technologies, data management strategies, and ethical considerations, are highlighted. Lastly, a case study of technology use in an evaluation conducted by the Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness at Penn State is presented and illustrates how technology integration can enhance program evaluation.

“…In part, the desire to incorporate new technologies as part of instructional practice is a function of their ability to motivate children, encourage persistence on challenging tasks, and personalize the learning environment (Gee 2008;Hartnell-Young 2009;Looi et al 2009;Specht 2010;Specht, Howell, Young 2007). In addition, the capabilities of these devices offer the potential for "anywhere, anytime", creative, and collaborative construction of knowledge (Evans, Johri 2008;Hoppe, Joiner, Milrad, Sharples 2003;Norris, Soloway 2008). The potential for learning with mobile technology has been equated with "21 st century learning skills".…”

This article analyses the research question of how learners utilize hand-held mobile technology for learning of children. Mobile technology is an „anywhere, anytime”, creative learning tool that has the potential to support the development of self-regulated learners. The article examines user defined utilization of the mobile technology in elementary education settings: a comprehensive examination of the integration of digital mobile technology in an elementary school. Specific student use, independent of prescribed teacher use, is considered in examining the self-regulated learning supported by the mobile technology.
