چکیده (انگلیسی):

hile early advocates of mandatory student laptop programs could identify sound pedagogical
arguments for implementing them a decade ago, most universities were unable to assume the cost
burden or allocate the cost to students. Since that time though, rapidly declining technology prices
combined with increasingly tight computer lab operating budgets has caused many administrators to reconsider laptop
programs. Now, in addition to making good pedagogical sense, laptop programs can simply make “good cents” by
freeing up financial resources spent staffing computer labs and maintaining equipment as well as physical resources
dedicated to housing computer labs.
