One need only sit in the back of alarge class that is not deliberately engaging laptops to see their potential to distract students totasks unrelated to the course. The challenge addressed here is to what degree the deliberateengagement of laptops in class can provide pedagogical benefits that outweigh the potentialdistractions inherent to the introduction of free communication devices in the classroom. Evidence exists that “deliberate” use of laptops in lecture classes, i.e. where laptops aredeliberately engaged in the conduct of the course, can increase constructive discourse betweenstudents and between students and

Not any tools described above or found in the literature focus on generalization ofdifficulties while solving Parsons puzzles. This is because the single user adaptation in traditionalITS can’t reveal anything about the general difficulties students struggle during their interactionwith the system.3 System: EvoParsons Parsons Puzzles

in classroom settings. As an anecdotal example, a professor at University of Notre Damedescribes teaching virtually during COVID-19 lockdown as follows: “I am continually repressing my lifelong, trained habit of uttering simultaneous encouragement through ‘continuers,’ those back-channel cues that encourage the speaker to go on.” [11]Group feedback including laughter, fatigue, visual engagement, head tilting, and auditory cues are nolonger accessible to teachers during COVID-19. This may have a serious negative impact on the ability ofteachers to adapt their teaching to the responses of the class. For instance, in physical classrooms, when ateacher notices students becoming drowsy, they may opt to ask questions of the class or add some
