Abstract

The use of electronic devices and resources in the classroom is part of the daily activity for lecturers and students, and it meets the requirements of the “longlife learning” advocated by the EHEA. Thus, several studies have explored the importance of interaction through social networks, using blogs and other electronic resources. Some lecturers have also conducted various experiences related with the use of those devices that allow access to these technologies. The influence of communication technologies provides clear advantages for both the learning process of students and for the daily work of their teachers. However, there are many risks and disadvantages resulting from such use. This article proposes an initial investigation to determine the extent of computer use in the classroom between students degrees in Communication.
