“…[44,45] Our respondents opined that their teachers encourage them to use smart devices; similar finding also reported from the UAE and USA [46,47] ; such corroboration was also witnessed even in medical schools. [48,49] The study respondents used a number of electronic devices, which was also observed among the US health-care professionals and four Canadian university students. [14,28] The study respondents (o1 to 44 h) used electronic devices much more time than medical students of the United Kingdom (0 to 1+ h).…”

||ABSTRACT Background: The availability and the use of electronic devices among the students of higher education have been continuing to grow. The devices connect the users to the world instantly, allow access to information, and enable interactivity with others. The uses of these devices are playing an important role, especially in their academic lives. Aims and Objectives: To identify the types of devices used for the students, the purpose of their use, and its influence on their academic performances. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was developed, and its content validity was tested by a survey expert. About 300 questionnaires were later distributed among the available year-I, -II, and -III students, and 230 completed questionnaires were collected back from the participants. The data collected were inserted in the SPSS (version 17.0) program and analyzed accordingly. Results: Descriptive analysis showed that 71.7% of the respondents were female students; 68.7% were in 20-21 age groups; and 42.2% were from year I, 42.6% from year II, and the rest from year III. A total of 65.7% of the respondents admitted that they used to use electronic devices in the classroom, and 89.6% of which use a smartphone. Among the smartphone users, about 48% scored 465% marks in their last examination. Conclusion: It has been found that the students' performance was directly associated with the use of electronic devices for academic purposes. In this study, students' learning behavior with electronic devices, especially smartphones, was explored, and the data indicated that they want more access to the academic-friendly devices. The smart uses of electronic devices, therefore, help to improve the academic performance of the students.

“…To avoid the hidden curriculum, Broom, Adamson and Draper () recommend that medical schools and teaching hospitals educate students on appropriate use of mobile devices that is in keeping with the institutional culture. McCord et al () recommend patient education to help patients understand the value of mobile devices for medical practice and learning.…”

This study was conducted with medical students, physicians, patients and carers in a paediatric and an adult hospital to determine use of mobile devices for learning, and beliefs and attitudes about others' use. Awareness of ethical, patient privacy and data security concerns was explored. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design through survey and focus groups for students and physicians, and a separate survey for patients and carers. Each arm of the study was analysed individually, followed by integration of quantitative and qualitative data, which are the subject of this paper. Interpretation of the integrated student and physician quantitative data highlighted that both groups used mobile devices for information verification, organisation and communication, and these represented the best uses of mobile devices; the worst aspects of mobile devices involved Internet access difficulties.

“…There is no need for logging into a system or requirement to have internet connection. The only requirements are a cellular smart phone and the app, and to be able to send and receive messages [2]. We are the ones educating future health care providers and we need to demonstrate flexibility and adaptability to our students.…”

“…There are various forms of communication, from personal (face to face), to social media, and many in between including text-messaging. One conceivable way to improve communication skills is for faculty to use varied forms of communication in the educational setting of healthcare provider students [2].…”
