Assignment <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Your lecture textbook describes the processes by which durable memories are formed and learning
\noccurs. Recent research has explored the ways in which students’ use of digital technology in the
\nuniversity classroom affects learning. Proponents of using such technology in the classroom argue
\nthat it can be used to enhance learning. Critics, however, point to research that explores the negative
\neffects for learning not only for the technology user but also for those in view of the user’s device. As
\npart of your argument, it will be helpful to explain how this research on the use of digital technology
\nin the university classroom relates to what you have learned about learning and memory from the
\nlectures and textbook. double-spaced lines,
\n12-point font (Times New Roman or equivalent), and 1 inch\/2.54cm margins<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
For essay 1, you will develop an argument in response to this question: should university students
\nvoluntarily choose to avoid all off-task technology use during university lectures and labs?<\/p>\n
