Abstract

The introduction of mobile devices and fitted software is not that much widespread in German engineering education up to now. Hence, within the ELLI project mobile learning is one focus and the usage of iPads and the software Evernote has been introduced in two different courses. In one of the courses the students were encouraged to use these tools in order to organize and support scientific research processes. In the other one they should track personal procrastination moments in order to analyze and overcome these moments or make use of them for their working processes. In both cases it was evaluated how suitable these instruments were and if they enabled the students to work on their projects anywhere and at any time they decided to do so. The results show that the Evernote software does fit in theses contexts and support the education scenarios. However, there remain barriers and the assumption of merging private and educational contexts cannot be supported by our results.
