They do it out of a habit.2.2 Use of TabletsTablets are not as popular as smart phones for cheating during tests, exams and other educationalevents. This is primarily because they are bigger and bulkier that smart phone and hence difficultto hide in the classrooms. Tablets or ipads are widely used in a variety of teaching activitiesmainly due to their friendly user interface and the possibility of having a wide variety of learningbased applications for all age groups.Proceedings of the 2013 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education2.3 Is It iPhone or

Thepyramid shows various methods of learning and corresponding knowledge retention rates for average students.Merely attending lectures is the least effective method.

Lastly, course/application relevance (CAR) is defined as how appropriate the systemis with respect to the goals of the course/application. This includes taking into account the HI and SIratings, ease-of-implementation (EI), and how well they are aligned with the nature of the problem-solving application.
